In this week's review section, success in Europe for the big teams as they march towards the
European finals in Poland and the Ukraine in 2012, while Wales let England off the
hook.
Al-Ahly did what they were expected to do in the Round of 32 of the Egyptian Cup on Tuesday
night as they swept aside the challenge of Kima Aswan, winning the game by four goals to nil. The
game will forever be famous, however, for this dreadful penalty by Al Ahly's Amir Sayoud. Following
his embarrassing effort the player was shown a yellow card for unsportsmanlike conduct but I guess
it's best to try these things when you're already 4-0 ahead with just minutes of the contest
remaining.
Chamado a converter um castigo máximo, o avançado argelino Amir Sayoud, jogador dos egípcios do
Al-Ahly treinados por Manuel José, decidiu inventar e fez "figura de urso".... O melhor mesmo é
verem...
The problem is all of those follies dubbed the 'worst ever' seems to have at least a bit of
merit. Amir Sayoud of Al Ahly is on the list, and you're going to see a lot of him in the coming
days. Almost all of it will involve the prone position and a meal of grass.
At least he can laugh about it, though.
I've seen some bad, some horrible, penalty kicks over the years, but this one "taken" by Amir
Sayoud, an Algerian striker playing for Al Ahly in Egypt, during this recent match between Al Ahly
and Kima Aswan in the Egyptian Cup. Thankfully for Sayoud, who received a yellow card for this bit
of, shall we say, stage fright, his team won the match 4-0, and it seems unlikely that his
performance had anything to do with the clashes between police and Al Ahly supporters after the
match.
