Rayo Vallecano’s ‘pass penalty’ vs Girona went horribly wrong
March 19, 2023
Rayo Vallecano attempted to pull off a ‘pass penalty’ in their La Liga match against Girona on Saturday afternoon.
What is a ‘pass penalty’ you ask?
Well, it’s a bold move where the taker passes the ball forward with minimal power, allowing a teammate to then run in to the box and beat the opposing goalkeeper.
When the move is executed to perfection, it looks pretty darn good.
Back in 2016, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez did just that during a 6-1 thrashing of Celta Vigo in the Spanish top-flight.
