It's not for everyone to arrive at an important game and score a Panenka, just like Zidane did in a World Cup final.

But have you ever seen two Panenka penalties in a row? That's what happened in the Copinha semifinal between São Paulo and Criciúma, when Ryan Francisco decided the game for the São Paulo team in the final minutes.

Check out the video below, yes, it's not repeated! 😅

"Cool-headed" Ryan is the main player for SPFC in Copinha, with 10 goals in 8 games, making him the top scorer in the country's main youth competition.

However, this gem won't be in the final on Saturday (25) at Pacaembu, against Grêmio or Corinthians, who face off this Wednesday (22).

Before shining with the two Panenkas, the young player received a yellow card for a challenge where he tackled the ball and hit a Criciúma opponent.

It was his second yellow in the competition, ruling him out of the next game due to suspension.

On social media, the São Paulo boy was highly praised for his courage in the semifinal.
