Dominik Szoboszlai’s Panenka Helps Hungary Draw With Germany

In a match that left fans in stitches, Dominik Szoboszlai showed his mettle by scoring a stunning Panenka free in the dying minutes to salvage a 1-1 draw for Hungary against Germany in the Nations League.

The match took place at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, where Hungary looked doomed when Felix Nmecha scored for Germany with 14 minutes to go. However, the hosts refused to give up, and with the clock ticking down to injury time, they were awarded a crucial penalty.

Looking to himself, Szoboszlai stepped up to take the free Germany goalkeeper Alexander Nubel guessed correctly and dived to his right, but the Liverpool midfielder executed a perfect Panenka, sending the ball flying straight into the middle of the goal.

This daring penalty was a tribute to the legendary Antonin Panenka, who made this technique famous in the 1976 European Championship final. Szoboszlai’s composure not only delighted the home crowd but also gave Hungary hope in the match.
