One of the most unusual penalties ever was scored by a Maldives player during a penalty shootout against Afghanistan in the AFC Challenge Cup on Thursday.
Maldives played out a 1-1 extra time draw in a third-place play-off match and had to settle the game on penalties.
During the shootout, Ashad Ali Adubarey of the Maldives stepped up with one of the strangest spot kicks we have ever seen.
He feigned a fall in his run-up to his penalty, before calmly getting back up and calmly slotting his penalty into the top corner.
The goalkeeper stood bemused but the referee judged there to be no infringement, and Maldives went on to win the shootout 8-7.
