Description:
Former Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani had a moment to forget in Boca Juniors' Copa Sudamericana clash with Nacional Potosi on Wednesday night.<br/><br/>Cavani, 37, who spent two years at Old Trafford between 2020 and 2022, joined Boca last summer and has enjoyed a positive first year in Argentina, but he missed a sitter in his latest outing for the club.<br/><br/>He looked set for a certain goal as he raced into the penalty box and latched onto a cross from his team-mate, but he somehow tapped the ball wide of the target from just three yards out, despite having the whole of the goal to aim at.<br/><br/>Cavani ended up in the net himself, but the ball did not, as he fell to his knees in disbelief.<br/><br/>The Uruguayan quickly picked himself back up, while his manager applauded the team's move, but it was still a truly shocking miss from one of the modern game's greatest strikers.<br/><br/>Fortunately for Cavani, his horror moment did not come back to haunt him as Boca ran out 4-0 winners against their Bolivian opponents.<br/><br/>Cavani did get on the scoresheet in the 14th minute, while another ex-United player, Marcos Rojo, rounded off the scoring in the second half.<br/><br/>The result meant Boca finished in second place in Group D behind Fortaleza after taking 11 points from their six matches.<br/><br/>Cavani featured in four of those games, scoring three goals.<br/><br/>Boca are now due to play a team transferred over from the Copa Libertadores for a place in the last 16, and they will hope Cavani can quickly put Wednesday's miss behind him for that match.<br/><br/>Boca also have the league to focus on in the meantime, which is just three games old. They have collected four points from a possible nine so far, leaving them three points behind early pace-setters Racing Club.
