An unusual moment marked the penalty shootout of the friendly game between Colo Colo and Peñarol, with Cristián Zavala starring in a situation that quickly became viral.
The Chilean team’s forward took charge of one of the penalties and opted to attempt a “panenkada”. However, the technical gesture went completely wrong, with Zavala completely missing the shot and wasting the opportunity to give his team an advantage.
To make matters worse, shortly after the failed attempt, the player ended up sitting on the pitch, visibly in difficulty, complaining of pain in his right leg. The unexpected sequence generated surprise among players, fans and the technical team, transforming the play into one of the most ridiculous moments of the match.
Brahim Díaz should have styled out his failed panenka like Colo-Colo’s Cristián Zavala did last night
