Missed the Challenge Cup game between the Maldives and Afghanistan? Then you probably missed this incredibly cheeky penalty routine.
The panenka penalty is undoubtedly one of the cheekiest ways to score from the spot, but it looks like Ashad Ali Adubarey might have just found an even more outrageous way to get one over on an unsuspecting 'keeper.
Here, in a match between the Maldives and Afghanistan (two teams that surely know, as Steve Bleasdale would say, "when it's a battle, you f***ing battle"), the game had not only gone through 90 minutes at 0-0, as well as extra time, but it was now 7-6 on penalties. It looked as though it may never end, and so Adubarey decided to try his new 'falling down' routine, to see if he could trick the goalie.
He did, and the score went to 7-7, with his side eventually winning 9-8 after quite a long shoot out, securing them the lofty prize of third place.
