The penalty which wasn"t converted by Paulo Henrique Ganso in the 1-1 draw against Trujillanos in the Copa Libertadores was the third spot kick wasted by São Paulo in 2016.
São Paulo have had four penalties in their favor, but scored only one goal. No other big club from the Série A has lost as many penalties in the year. If the poor record in penalties makes São Paulo fans miss Rogério Ceni, it is worth remembering that in 2015, São Paulo failed to score in two of the first four penalties received in the season, and one of them was wasted by the former goalkeeper [the other was missed by Jonathan Cafú, who has left the club]. However, throughout 2015, São Paulo had ten penalties in their favor and missed three [the other miss was by striker Alan Kardec, in the 6-1 defeat against Corinthians]. This year, São Paulo are next to Botafogo, Flamengo and Fluminense in the teams with four penalties in their favor. Only Coritiba have had more than them; five penalties were won, and all were converted.
