Saint Marcos Does Another 3 Miracles

Saint Mark is back. Or I should say Sao Marcos. The goalie that became a saint after denying important penalties in the Copa Libertadores in the late 90’s/early 00’s did some of his miracles again.

Palmeiras visited Sport for the second-leg of Copa Libertadores’ the round of 16. The locals played better all the time, missed important chances and scored only one goal. The 1-0 victory took the match to the penalties. And this is when Marcos wrote another chapter of his career in the history of Palmeiras. Marcos denied 3 penalties and qualified Palmeiras!

With the 3 penalties, Marcos now totals 10 penalties denied in the Copa Libertadores. Impressive. Palmeiras will now take on Nacional from Uruguay. And Sport is the first Brazilian side eliminated in the continental tournament.
