The Worst Penalty Miss Ever? Osasuna Striker’s Viral Blunder in LaLiga Match

Strange scenes on Monday night in the Spanish LaLiga at the match between Osasuna and Valencia. The visitors had been leading 0-1 for a long time, but it still looked like they would have to share the points after a penalty in the last minute, which was shot in an unprecedented manner.

Valencia took the lead after just 18 minutes. André Almeida received the ball on the right side of the penalty area and then scored hard and low: 0-1.

After Valencia’s goal, Osasuna had plenty of chances to equalise, but the biggest one came in second-half injury time. Ante Budimir was hit by an opponent with a cross from the side and went to the grass.

Although the referee initially did not want to award a penalty, he was called to the screen a little later by the VAR. After seeing the images, the ball still hit the spot.

Budimir then stood behind the ball himself. The Croat scored his seventeenth goal of the season, but failed miserably. The striker took a step first, but saw that the keeper was not choosing a side.

Eventually the ball came very close, so he gently tipped it into the keeper’s hands. Budimir could then sink through the ground.

Osasuna are currently eleventh in LaLiga and do not have to worry about relegation despite Monday night’s loss. As a result of the defeat, the sixth place, which gives them the right to European football, has also disappeared far from sight.
