It is rare to see something new in football...

The Spain Under-19 side confirmed their spot as Group B winners with a fine 3-0 demolition of Italy at the Under-19 European Championships in France today.

Ruben Rochina and Liverpool forward Dani Pacheco had given Espana a two-goal lead at the break and with an eye on the semi-finals, coach Luis Milla rested a couple of his big name players and brought on Real Betis midfielder Ezequiel Calvente.

Perhaps looking to make his mark on the favourites to win the tournament, Calvente, a left-sided player from Betis, earned himself a penalty in the 57th minute following a foul by Alessandro Crescenzi.

In the few match reports since Spain's victory, Calvente's penalty has been described as 'cheeky' and 'audacious' but on 101 Great Goals we called it 'ingenious'.

In Spain, Marca praised the El Betico for "inventing a new way of taking penalties."

Taking a leaf out of England cricket batsman Kevin Pietersen's repertoire, Calvente's penalty has to be seen to be believed and for good measure it also riled the defeated Italians.
