Argentina's Emmanuel Gimenez took a penalty so perfect it literally broke the net

Emmanuel Gimenez is a name that will not ring any bells in the heads of most football fans.

The Argentine midfielder has spent his entire playing career out in South America and is currently representing Club Atletico Racing.

Atletico operate in Argentina’s third-tier, so it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of Gimenez before.

So why are we bringing him up? Well, on Wednesday evening, the 38-year-old journeyman produced arguably the most perfect penalty kick in football history.

In the first round of the 2021/22 Copa Argentina, Atletico took top-flight outfit San Lorenzo to a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw after normal and extra time.

And it was Atletico who prevailed in the spot kick lottery to pull off a seismic shock in Argentinian football.
