Uruguay

Sebastián Abreu delivers an unforgettable moment in the 2010 World Cup quarterfinals against Ghana, sealing Uruguay’s place in the semifinals with an audacious Panenka penalty. Stepping up for the decisive spot-kick in the shootout, he calmly chips the ball straight down the middle, fooling the goalkeeper, who dives to one side. His composure, confidence, and flair under immense pressure make this one of the most legendary penalties in World Cup history. This moment cements Abreu’s reputation as a player with nerves of steel and incredible technique.
