Etoile, a Tunisian side scored an innovative penalty in a friendly game against Marseille
Pre-season is the place for coaches and managers to experiment as much as they like before the actual competitions begin, but it is also a time for players to try their hand at some skills and tricks that they normally would not be able to perform. Tunisian league side Etoile took this bit of advice rather seriously during a friendly encounter against Marseille.
The Ligue 1 team were cruising at 4-0 with just 5 minutes left on the clock when Etoile were awarded a penalty. Youssef Mouibhi stepped up to the spot but it was Baghdad Bounedjah who scored. Yes, the team from Tunisia managed to convert the spot- kick, but not in the way that you’d imagine. Check out this brilliant penalty below!
