Can't take penalties? Weverton is hero in Libertadores with similar numbers to Prass in Palmeiras

Club World Cup

Palmeiras eliminated Atlético-MG on penalties after a 0-0 draw, even with two players less at Allianz Parque, and advanced to the semifinal of the Libertadores epically. Goalkeeper Weverton was the hero when he saved the opponent's sixth penalty kick.

It was the 13th penalty saved by the No. 21 in 250 games with the Verdão jersey. Criticized by some fans for supposedly not excelling in this area, he already has similar numbers to Fernando Prass, curiously remembered for being a penalty taker.

Prass has saved 15 penalties in 274 matches. The main difference is in penalties saved in normal time. While Weverton has only three, the former goalkeeper has seven. The current streak does not favor the current "alviverde" goalkeeper: he has now saved 20 penalties in a row. In contests, he has the slight advantage of nine saves against Prass' eight.

Both have saved penalties in all major competitions, such as the Brasileirão, Libertadores, Copa do Brasil, and Libertadores. Weverton also has saves in the Club World Cup and Brazilian Supercup, but in disputes where Palmeiras was defeated.

Copa do Brasil

It was only the second penalty shootout won by Weverton since his arrival at the Biggest National Champion. The first was the 2020 Paulistão final when he saved two penalties against Corinthians. Prass, on the other hand, has three wins in penalty shootouts.
