Concedes two versus Almeria Pena made three saves and conceded two goals during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Almeria. Impact Pena couldn't do much to prevent the opposition's first goal but then he committed a critical mistake that led to the second, as he tried to gather the ball instead of punching it in traffic after a free-kick cross, leaving the net empty for Edgar Gonzalez to score the goal that momentarily drew things level at 2-2 in the 71st minute. With 10 goals allowed over his last four starts in all competitions, Pena hasn't looked up to the task of replacing Marc-Andre ter Stegen (back) so far, but he'll have some more matches to prove he's a capable backup after the break as the German will be out at least until February.
