I wouldn’t normally wish anyone any ill, especially humiliation in a public setting that they’ll have to live with for the rest of their lives. But boy, did this soccer player deserve it.
During a match between Al Ahly and Kima Aswan in Egypt, Amir Sayoud attempted to score from the penalty spot. In order to do so he tried the classic fake-out approach which has become standard over the last two decades.
Unfortunately for him, rather than tricking the goalkeeper into diving early or the wrong way, it tricks his feet into tripping him over. He ends up up with his face in the dirt, the ball slowly trickling its way towards goal with no chance of going in.
Let this be a lesson to all soccer players: Don’t try and be clever when taking a penalty, as you’ll end up looking like a tool when it goes wrong.
