With Benfica holding a fragile 1-0 lead over Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Youth League , it was not the time for any player from the Portuguese side to try anything flamboyant in front of goal . Unfortunately , that is exactly what Romario Balde did when he seized control of a penalty for his side . Instead of lashing the ball into a corner and hoping his accuracy beat the dive of the goalkeeper , he tried to chip the ball down the middle and into the goal - a panenka penalty kick . Romario Balde chips a penalty at goal in Benfica 's UEFA Youth League game against Shakhtar Donetsk . Balde 's contact with the ball was so light it only trickled to goal , despite the goalkeeper diving the wrong way . The goalkeeper had enough time to get to his feet and save the attempt , so minimal was Balde 's contact . As the ball was stopped inches in front of the goal line , Balde reacts to his error for Benfica . Balde wa substituted and his Benfica side drew to Shakhtar 1-1 before losing the game on penalties . The skill is named after Antonin Panenka 's penalty at Euro 1976 for Czechoslovakia against Germany but Balde lacked all of the conviction that made Panenka 's kick famous . His kick was so feeble and light that the Shakhtar goalkeeper had enough time to dive the wrong way , regain his balance and claim the ball before it trickled over the line . And things did not get any better for Balde or Benfica . Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo famously scored a panenka penalty against England at Euro 2012 . He was substituted , Benfica ended up drawing 1-1 before crashing out of the competition - on penalties . The panenka has been replicated by the likes of Andrea Pirlo and Zinedine Zidane , but Balde is unlikely to want to try it in an important game any time soon .
Romario Balde missed a panenka penalty for Benfica 's youth team . He underhit the penalty so much the goalkeeper had time to dive twice . Comment:
