Are you a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty type of person?
The first instinct of some will be to laugh at the striker here, who squandered this gilt-edged chance for River Plate during their clash with Belgrano on Sunday night.
Substitute Tomas Andrade was one of three men waiting to tap in a squared pass after a breakneck counter-attack.
Leading 2-1 in injury time, River Plate had the chance to put the game to bed but Andrade failed to put the necessary power into his shot and the chance went.
If you're of a more positive outlook, you could see the sequence of play as the greatest save of the season.

It looked for all the world that the net was set to bulge but Belgrano goalkeeper Lucas Acosta didn't get the memo.
Acosta somehow managed to scramble back to the goalline and claw the effort away to safety.
Whatever way you want to view it, it's an extraordinary moment.
River Plate held out for the victory which will have spared the forward's blushes but it's pretty safe to assume that his teammates didn't let him forget it when they got back to the dressing room.
