Basically if you mishit a pen to one side, as long as it is on target you have scored if the keeper goes the wrong way.

Panenka it and mishit and as seen today the keeper can readjust and save it.
 
I dont think there is going to be any celebrations at the end... with what happened has tarnished it

Senegal will celebrate
 
Which ever city in Morocco this is in will be "lively" tonight,
 
Talk about lacking humility in victory!
 
Mane with a touch of class in not celebrating I must say. He looks embarrassed.
 
This is what i meant by didnt think they would celebrate.. but yeah...

You could see him annoyed at his own teammates and urging them to return to the pitch. Even went down to the changing room to drag them back.
 
Mendy went to go down amd had time to reorganise and adjust to save because of the poor power ..

It was cocky hence why its universally agreed his miss made him look a tit
Yeah I get the cockiness part of it - it takes a lot of balls to not just hammer it. I just think it gets a harsh rep. I don’t know if they’re inherently easier to save - a keeper would know, I guess.
 
Its even worse to try a pen like that when youve not won it for 50 years ffs 🙄 what was he thinking

Devil's advocate:

If they hadn't had all that shenanigans would they have missed the penalty? Got to mess with your head all that going on. Would he have hit the panenka if they hadn't gone off the pitch?
 
in the end, they lost because their star player got cocky and fucked up

How many other ways of penalty taking allow the goalkeeper time to get up and change position to make a save?
 
If FIFA have any bollocks there have to be repercussions for that.

Said that at the time
 
Be interested to know if any Senegal players had been booked before the drama. Second yellow and the missed penalty still means they are playing entire of extra time with 10 men

There are plenty of penalties that are saveable despite being aimed in a different direction from the way the keeper initially dived.

But not for the keeper to readjust. They can basically save it at the second attempt.

According to this, the Panenka success rate is about 5% lower than other approaches
