Iván Rocha shot the worst penalty in the history of the League
Which the worst penalty in the history of the League? Well possibly this one that launched Ivan Rocha an already distant 6 from December to 1998 at Mendizorroza stadium. They faced the Alavés and Valencia and the truth is that the launch of the Brazilian center-back who was in charge of launching them on his team, it couldn't be more dire.
The worst penalty in the history of the League
It was the last years of the 20th century. Alavés was beginning to be one of the revelations of Spanish football and faced a Valencia that that season would end up being Cup champion and later in the early years of the 21st century would start a golden stage with 2 Leagues and a Europa League. But that day was still not that team.
That afternoon, Magno Brazilian forward from Alavés faced the goal of Valencia that he was defending at that time Santi Cañizares. Djukic, elegant center-back of the Mestalla team of the time, He was forced to stop at the Punta Carioca at fault. Penalty in favor of Alavés.
Then the figure of a Ivan Rocha, who was the 'specialist’ from the team from Vitoria. He grabbed the ball, put her on the penalty spot, took a run and hit the ball with a cowhide that went to the side about 8 meters from goal while lifting 4 kg of grass. Either it was the terrain that was horrible or because his hitting was even worse or surely because of both things together, but Rocha launched one of the worst penalties in the history of the League.
The 6 from December to 1998 Valencia beat him 1 a 0 Alavés in Mendizorroza with a goal from Piojo López, in a match remembered for the penalty that Iván Rocha missed. According to the chronicle of Mundo Deportivo, the ball went to 10 meters from goal. According to BRAND, a 5. pic.twitter.com/UeSFrXOyHd
