VIDEO: The Worst Panenka Penalty of the Season Has Arrived

Chilean footballer Cristián Zavala, of Colo-Colo, has gone viral due to a failed Panenka-style penalty in a friendly match against Peñarol. The penalty was so bad that the ball didn't even reach the goal, and Zavala pretended to be injured immediately afterwards. The incident is reminiscent of a similar failed attempt by Brahim Díaz in a recent match.
