Hilarious scene: striker dinks it, misses pen and is hugged by rivals 😅 | OneFootball

One of the greatest classics in Argentine (and world) football, Saturday’s (4) Independiente vs. Racing featured one of the most memorable scenes in the history of the rivalry.

Racing’s top scorer, Maravilla Martínez, chipped the penalty — and MISSED. And he was immediately hugged by players... from rival Independiente. Watch the scene:

Independiente goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey ran over and immediately hugged Maravilla Martínez in a mix of joy and provocation — the referee had to separate them.

Other Independiente players also celebrated with Maravilla Martínez — who, despite the huge rivalry between the clubs, took the taunting in stride.

The miss, by the way, proved costly for Racing — which lost 1-0 to Independiente.

With the result, Independiente moved up to eighth place in Group A with 17 points. Racing dropped to sixth in Group B with 18.
