Often criticized for his ineffectiveness in front of goal, Vitinha missed the match point this Saturday during the match on the 19th day of Ligue 1 between OM and AS Monaco (2-2).
This action will remain as the image of this meeting between OM and AS Monaco. Alone facing the goal in the last minute of added time (90+4th), Vitinha failed to offer victory to the Marseille club (2-2) this Saturday during a match counting for the 19th day of Ligue 1 .
On a cross from Jordan Veretout, repositioned on the right side of the defense at the end of the game, Vitinha just had to push the ball. Goalkeeper of the Rocher club, Philipp Köhn was very happy to be able to recover the leather after this incredible miss by the Portuguese striker. Alone at the far post, the 23-year-old completely missed making a small jump to perform a flat foot.
Competition to come with Moumbagna
In the first period, Vitinha had caused the red card of Guillermo Maripan (10th) and found the post on a shot, then taken by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (38th) for the equalizer. Enterprising, the player who remains the most expensive recruit in the history of OM has again lacked efficiency, he who has only 4 goals in 27 matches in all competitions this season.
Logically very disappointed, Vitinha rushed towards the locker room at the final whistle. Released with Cameroon this Saturday by Nigeria during the round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations, Faris Moumbagna will land in Marseille, bringing competition to Vitinha.
