Benzema disrupted by Sergio Herrera: Two penalties saved in 7 minutes
The goalkeeper is a hero.
On Wednesday, it was not Karim Benzema's night at El Sadar, as he had two penalties saved by Sergio Herrera within seven minutes.
He fired the first low to the goalkeeper's right, and the keeper correctly guessed.
Rodrygo won another penalty, and Benzema chose to strike the ball towards the same corner, but the goalkeeper correctly predicted the Frenchman's intention.
If they had gone in, the striker would have had 41 goals in 40 games, but that was not to be.
Benzema had missed his third and fourth penalties of the season. With Sergio Ramos' departure, the former Lyon man has assumed responsibility, but he hasn't been as accurate as he'd have liked.
