A very special episode that has conquered the network happened in the Brazilian championship. Atletico Paranaense beat Parana 2-1, with an upset that started in the strangest way possible.
Atletico Paranaense won a penalty and Zapelli shot from the penalty spot, but goalkeeper Gabriel Gasparoto deflected the shot which was then stopped by the crossbar.
However, what he did turned the goalkeeper from hero to "meme" in a split second. The goalkeeper stood up and celebrated saving the penalty without seeing that the ball was still in play and the opponent had no difficulty scoring into the empty net.
Lucas Di Yorio's tying goal.
