The moment the video of the shock penalty emerged on social media, the fans were quick to troll the players. It was during the initial half when the referee gave Rayo a penalty. Oscar Trejo stepped up but saw his attempt saved by Girona’s goalkeeper. However, the referee asked to retake the penalty. 

In his second attempt, Trejo laid the ball to his teammate Isi Palazon from the spot. Palazon tried to place it in the top right corner but failed miserably, and the ball went over the bars. The video emerged on Twitter, and one user wrote, “Sack everyone involved.”
