Video: Tunisian team score perfectly synchronised two-man penalty
In a friendly match between Marseille and Tunisian club Etoile, the home team from Tunisia lost the match 4-1 but produced the moment of the match when they scored from a penalty kick. What made the penalty so interesting was that it came from a perfectly executed two-man routine.
Youssef Mouibhi and Baghdad Bounedjah combined to produce a brilliant conversion, as the former rolled the ball to the latter, who stroked the ball into the net. This isn’t the first time an effort like this was seen, with the most famous coming from Johan Cruyff who scored, while the most famous miss came courtesy the French pair of Thierry Henry and Robert Pires. Late last year, a Korean team also executed the routine perfectly.
