“The worst penalty in history”: the incredible failure of an Osasuna player that went around the world and made Valencia celebrate

“The worst penalty kick in history”. The title may seem like a lot, but what really happened at the El Sadar stadium is incredible. Valencia He suffered to obtain a fundamental victory thanks to André Almeida’s goal, but all the flashes remained in the Croatian Before BudimirThat He missed a penalty in the 97th minute with an incredible technical gesturethat caused more surprise than disappointment among the fans Osasuna.

The surreal makes its appearance in the 96th minute. Munuera Montero reports the maximum penalty on Budimir after reviewing it at VAR. Even though he was a great eleven meter specialist, the usual scorer made a strange gesture with which he touched the ball and barely moved it, leaving a play that will be remembered for years.

Thus, Valencia won in Pamplona to regain seventh place and continue to dream of a return to Europe with seven games remaining in the season.

Osasuna came out looking for the rival’s goal with good combinations and with a very participatory Moi Gómez who wanted to take command to direct his team’s actions. Those of Baraja resisted local attempts, which had the aim of adding three points to dream of reaching the European Cups.

The first clear opportunity came after a serious mistake by Herrera. The Rossoneri goalkeeper did not understand his defense and forced the error by intercepting possession of the ball.

Hugo Duro, with everything in his favor to finish, preferred to wait for his teammate, enough time for Jorge Herrando to counter the play with great skill.

Portuguese André Almeida made it 0-1 in the 18th minute. That’s when Osasuna had trouble getting into the opposite field comfortably. For their part, the Valencians waited for the moment to go on the counterattack, without being in a hurry to go for the second.

Possession was local and Moi Gómez managed to equalise, but his shot hit the post after hitting Javi Guerra. Sadar took his temperature. Osasuna were better than their opponent, although the truth is that the guests had control of the first half.

I go through the locker room and more of the same thing. Valencia did not suffer with an Osasuna who monopolized the ball, but was unable to find the right key. The Colombian Johan Mojica came on in place of Juan Cruz to charge the game on the left with his speed and his constant overflows.

A quick passage that Ante Budimir was about to complete, hitherto unpublished. The Balkan player extends his left leg to chase Rubén García’s center.

Arrasate wanted the last outburst with a triple change. Ibáñez, Peña and Raúl García de Haro came out with the desire to change the inertia. Valencia was missing and proposed a defensive second half. Herrando had fun with a clear shot that he was unable to direct. Then, it is said, the worst penalty in the history of football.
