Libertadores: Hugo Souza apologizes for error in Corinthians defeat

Goalkeeper Hugo Souza was one of the characters in Corinthians' 2-0 defeat to Platense, this Wednesday (27), at Neo Química Arena, in the last round of the Copa Libertadores group stage. The player missed both goals for the Argentine team.

Both Platense goals were scored by attacking midfielder Franco Zapiola. The first, a penalty, was scored after Rodrigo Garro touched the arm inside the area after Hugo Souza missed the goal. In the second half, Zapiola covered the Corinthians goalkeeper after he himself missed a pass on the way out of the game.

After the match, Hugo Souza apologized, especially for the error in the second goal, and highlighted that the error will not change the way he plays with his feet at Corinthians.
