Craziest penalty shot ever


Craziest penalty shot ever Having said that, when USA lost, I felt like soccers 5 minutes of fame were up, and on to the next sport. I was wrong, so wrong. This video comes from men’s soccer, in a friendly match between Awana Diab (UAE) and Lebanon. There was nothing friendly about it. The score raced to 5-2 in favor of UAE. (which is roughly equivalent to 42-14 in a football game) The 6th goal for UAE is the breaking point. No, not the goal itself, or even the player who scored it, but how he scored it was the problem. This is a one-of-a-kind penalty kick and you’ve never seen anything like it. Probably won’t ever see anything like it again either because supposedly this player is in some big trouble.

The goal margin with which UAE thrashed Lebanon is not the only thing that made this match unforgettable for soccer fans but this match will be remembered for long due to the craziest ever backheel penalty shootout taken by UAE midfielder Awana Diab (Theyab Awana) in 78th minute of the match.Soccer fanatics and followers of the sport have termed Diab's penalty kick as the ' best ever strike into the goal post', The Daily Mail reports. The 21-year-old Diab ran up like any other spot-kick but just moments before he was about to make contact he quickly spun around and took the penalty backwards leaving the goalkeeper stunned and wrong footed just watching the ball going into nets.
