Claudiu Petrila, the extreme left from Rapid, had a huge opportunity in the 20th minute the match with FC Botoșani.
It all started after a pass from the Rapid half for Dobre, who advanced towards Anestis' goal. The extreme right of the team from Giulesti did not shoot, choosing to pass between two opponents, in front of the goal.
VIDEO WITH PHASE. Petrila, missing the championship in Botoșani – Rapid
The ball reached Petrila, who had the entire empty goal in front of him. The Rapid player then provided a moment that will go around the world. He sent wide at the short corner, failing to place the ball in the 7 meters between the two bars.
Anestis, the goalkeeper of the Botošan team, had no chance, being far from the goal. Petrila was unable to take advantage and open the scoring. The phase would have been checked by VAR, Dobre being in a suspected offside position when he received the pass.
“The miss of the century for Petrila,” Digi Sport commentator George Dobre exclaimed live.
Before the match with Botoșani, Petrila had scored 3 goals in the championship, in 16 games played.
