And yet! Tadic missed a fifth penalty this year

THE Dusan Tadic he is considered and is an excellent penalty taker, but this season he will probably want to forget it.

Its Serbian midfielder Fenerbahce yesterday he saw the amazing Constantis Tzolakis stop him from the white bullet in the “Russian roulette” that decided the quarter-final with Olympic. And yet, she was the fifth time this season that he has failed to score from the penalty spot.

Before the Piraeus goalkeeper, Tadic had been beaten in the Turkish league by Batuhan Sen of Gaziantep on 13/8, her Mert Gunock Besiktas on 9/12 and her Alp Arda Istanbulspor on 7/1, while for the Conference League he had hit the post against Dominik Takacs of Spartak Trnava on 14/12, but the ball hit the opposing goalkeeper and ended up in the net and an own goal was charged.

However, all previous penalty kicks had not cost Fener, as his team had won ALL four of those games (by 2-1, 1-3, 1-5 and 4-0 respectively), unlike what happened last night when Ismail Kartal’s team paid for the failure (and) of Tadic.

The 35-year-old ace has ten successful penalty kicks this year, in addition to five failed ones, that is, a success rate of 66.6%. In total, in his career he has 82 successful and 19 missed penalties, i.e. 81.1%.
