📖 Key Information
In association football, the panenka is a technique used while taking a penalty kick in which the taker, instead of kicking the ball to the left or right of the goalkeeper, gives a light touch underneath the ball, causing it to rise and fall within the centre of the goal, deceiving the goalkeeper who will most likely have committed to a dive away from the centre.
The technique was pioneered by Czech player Antonín Panenka when he scored the winning goal in the penalty shootout that decided the UEFA Euro 1976 final in Belgrade, beating West German goalkeeper Sepp Maier to claim the title for the Czechoslovakia national team. The technique garnered Panenka much media attention and praise, but it was likewise deemed risky.
