The worst Panenka you'll ever see took place at Gillette Stadium on Saturday.
Just when it looked like Venezuela was set to be rewarded for an excellent 10-minute spell against Argentina in the Copa America Centenario's quarter-finals, a horrific, comical moment took place.
After Venezuela was awarded a penalty kick just minutes before the interval, Luis Manuel Seijas attempted a Panenka that Sergio Romero read like a book and caught while barely flinching, maintaining Argentina's 2-0 lead.
Seijas wasn't included in Venezuela's initial starting XI but replaced Adalberto Penaranda after the latter suffered an injury while warming up.
