📹 Remember him? Flu hero misses a sitter, becomes a global joke

In Kansas City, United States, the score remains 0-0 for Ecuador vs. Curaçao this Saturday (20), in the second round of Group E of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The situation, however, could have been different if an "old acquaintance" had not missed an unbelievable goal just two minutes into the match.

That would be Enner Valencia, who found himself free right on the edge of the six-yard box, but ended up being denied by Curaçao’s goalkeeper.

The missed chance did not bring only "good memories" for Fluminense fans and "nightmares" for Internacional fans.

The foreign press, more specifically Argentina’s Diario Olé, posted an edit of the World Cup play with the caption:

"WATCH OUT! Enner Valencia wasted a clear one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper right at the start of the match, and the shot went horribly wide...". 

On social media, Brazilian fans also did not let the play go unnoticed.
