A Uefa Youth League game featuring Shakhtar Donetsk at Atalanta showed how it is done as they performed a two-man penalty. In October 2005, Arsenal's Thierry Henry and Robert Pires attempted a similar feat, only to find themselves red-faced as Pires failed to lay the ball off correctly for his fellow countryman.
The Shakhtar goal was scored by Georgy Sudakov and the match finished in a 2-2 draw. The 'tandem' penalty routine has been successfully carried out by other players too.
Lionel Messi passed to Luis Suárez, who scored for
Barcelona in 2016; Johan Cruyff and Jesper Olsen made the routine famous by exchanging passes after a penalty for Ajax in 1982; and Belgium’s Rik Coppens and Andre Piters pulled off the ruse against Iceland in 1957.Watch more from the amazing world of sport series
