Istanbul Basaksehir were knocked out of the Champions League qualifying round after Robinho missed a golden opportunity to put his team ahead against Olympiakos.

Just half an hour was on the clock in Greece when Elia combined with Visca to put it on a plate for Robinho. 

The Brazilian, who only had to tap in, was denied by Jose Sa which brought back memories of Iker Casillas' great save to deny Perotti away to Sevilla. 

Robinho was unable to score and Istanbul Basaksehir were punished. Olympiakos ended up winning 2-0 to progress 3-0 on aggregate to the play-off round of the Champions League.
