The most repeated penalty in soccer history








Do you believe in me if I tell you that a soccer penalty was repeated 6 times ?


The fact happens during Serbia-Tunisia football match held in 2004 in Athens, during the last Olympic Games. Serbia and Tunisia were 1-1 draw, but at 35th minute of the second half the Tahitian referee Charles Ariiotima awards a penalty to Tunisia: forward Mohamed Jedidi places the ball and score, but the goal was annulled because, according to the referee, his teammates had entered in the area before the shot. The penalty is repeated two more times and set aside for the same reason.

On the fourth attempt, the Serbian goalkeeper Nikola Milojevic blocked the ball, but the penalty is invalid because his teammates have come earlier than expected in the penalty area. The fifth penalty was saved and then canceled because of irregularities, and only at the sixth attempt the referee awards the goal. The game ended 3-2 for Tunisia.

Watch the video below, it's incredible:
