The Vallecanos draw (2-2) against Girona after Trejo and Isi missed the second maximum penalty of the match in their favor, playing the ball short as Messi and Suárez also did in 2016, although with different results


Direct Chronicle

There are many ways to take a penalty.

When Jose Mourinho was coaching Tottenham he said that Harry Kane had already decided before the game how he was going to take a penalty.

Other specialists like Mikel Oyarzabal wait until the last moment to choose the side based on the goalkeeper's movements.

And there are such unusual ways of taking a penalty that they live forever under the name of their creator.

This is the case of the

Panenka-style

penalty that was popularized by the Czechoslovakian Antonín Panenka in the 1976 Euro Cup and later emulated by Ramos or Pirlo in moments of maximum tension.

In 1982, Johan Cruyff invented the indirect penalty in his last spell at Ajax and changed the direct kick from eleven meters for a pass to the Danish Jesper Olsen, who scored the goal to everyone's surprise.

The

Panenka-style

penalty is more common in today's football, but Cruyff's has been seen on a few occasions due to the risk it entails.

The 41st minute of Rayo-Girona was running with a momentary victory for the Vallecanos 2-1 when Isi Palazón and Óscar Trejo found themselves possessed by the spirit of the historic Dutch '14′.

Gazzaniga had saved Trejo's penalty in favor of Rayo, but the shot had to be repeated due to an area invasion.

On the second, the Argentine gave the ball to Isi, who arrived well at the shot, but sent the ball over the goal to the astonishment of his own and others.

IT WAS THE ONE OF MESSI AND SUÁREZ!

😱 It's one of the @LaLiga images!

The most remembered emulation of the

Cruyffista

penalty was the one made by Messi and Luis Suárez in a match against Celta in 2016. The occurrence did end in a goal, but the score was more comfortable then, since the Catalans led 3-1 when the The Argentine assisted the Uruguayan from the penalty spot.

The match ended 6-1 and was one of the most memorable displays on MSN.

Ten years earlier, Henry and Pirés had also tried the indirect penalty with Arsenal, although with the same result as Rayo.

Isi and Trejo were protagonists before the penalty for good.

The winger opened the scoring in the 23rd minute with a great individual play that ended with a kick to the squad.

The Vallecas public reacted to the cry of “Isi selection”.

Girona reacted with the equalizer by Tsygankov, who took advantage of a defensive mistake by the Rayista defense, but shortly after, Trejo put the ball back in the top corner to score 2-1.

Rayo went ahead at halftime with the hope that the missed penalty would remain an anecdote, but Girona equalized through Tsygankov at the start of the second half.

The Ukrainian signed his first double in the Spanish league and keeps the Catalans in the quiet area of ​​the table.

The Vallecanos, who had the 3-1 in their hands, extend their streak of games without winning to six, which is diminishing the European aspirations of the strip.
