Liverpool fans would be forgiven for forgetting the name Diego Cavalieri.

The Brazilian goalkeeper moved to Anfield in 2008 after signing a four-year contract with the Reds. However, Cavalieri ended up being Liverpool's resident bench-warmer, making zero first team appearances in two years at the club. Cavalieri has since made the move back to Brazil where is he now playing in goals for Fluminense. However, his performance against Botafogo in the Carioca semifinal will probably make the Fluminese faithful start a campaign to send him back to England. Botafogo ended up winning the tie via the lottery of the penalty shootout after Cavalieri completely messed up his spot-kick by ballooning it so far over the crossbar, it could have actually been seen from the Spion Kop.
