Nicaragua makes history with a Panenka-style goal

The national soccer team of Nicaragua lost this Wednesday for the first time in its history his pair of The Savior with the score 1-0, thanks to a Panenka-style penalty from the inside left Byron Bonilla.

The score was faithful to what was seen on the artificial turf of the National Football Stadium, in Managua, as the only two shots on goal were registered by Nicaragua, one in each half.

What the result did not show was the actions inside the field, as it was a round-trip game from minute 01 to minute 96, despite the Nicaraguans having more control of the ball, 60-40 in their favor. .

The game was tied until the 81st minute, when Bonilla launched a Panenka-like free kick that he himself drove into the Salvadoran area.

The goal amazed the spectators, not only because of its surprise, but also because of the suspense that accompanied the play, because Salvadoran goalkeeper Tomás Romero, after diving to his right, had time to scramble and touch the ball, which finally enters. .
