Argentine center-back Kevin Silva was at the center of a play that has earned a place in the gallery of the “most missed goals in football history.”
He had the chance to put Montevideo City Torque ahead of Deportivo Riestra this Wednesday (29), but wasted an incredible opportunity right in front of goal.

There was no goalkeeper. Or any other opponent to get in the way.
A goal that was sorely missed, as the Argentine side won 2-1 in Group F of the Copa Sudamericana — Grêmio’s group.
They scored their first goals in international competitions. And celebrated their first win.
How did he manage that?
The move in question began from a corner kick.
Kevin Silva himself went for the header, but goalkeeper Arce got there first.
Rodríguez tried a volley, but didn’t connect well.
And the ball fell kindly to the Argentine Silva.
Uruguayan side City Torque — who opened their campaign by beating Grêmio — remained on six points.

Meanwhile, Riestra moved up to four.
And they will face the Porto Alegre Tricolor next Tuesday (5).
