Stuani breaks LaLiga Santander record for consecutive converted penalties Girona Girona striker has scored 16 out of 16

Cristhian Stuani is lethal from the penalty spot.

The Uruguayan's spot-kick against Espanyol broke a LaLiga Santander record and almost earned Girona a point at the Estadi Montilivi, only for Sergi Darder to unleash a wonderful strike at the end which went in off of Bono and into the back of the net.

The hosts were awarded a penalty when Roberto Rosales was controversially adjudged to have handled in the area after consultation with VAR.

When Stuani fired past Diego Lopez in the 80th minute, he set a new record for successfully converted penalties in a row.

He has now scored 16 out of 16 during his LaLiga Santander career and surpassed Manuel Alfaro's 15 from 15 with his spot-kick on Saturday.
