After a half hour break the penalties are finally up. The crowd is roaring. Deyna picks up the ball - he is very confident in himself.
He smashes it into the right corner, Leao dives to the other side, 1:0 to Gio
 
Müller is going to the ball. He runs and smashes it to the left corner.

Mazurka stays still. 1:1
 
It's Asparuhov's turn. He already proven himself quite a goalscorer on the tournament, can he do it from the spot?

He shots wide, the keeper can't believe his luck! 1:1
 
Gianni Rivera, cool as cucumber, goes to the spot.

He places it in the right corner, giving team Tuppet the lead. 1:2
 
Pedro Rocha is not happy with the modern ball, he asks to change it to the one from the 60's. The wish is, surprisingly, granted

And it was just what he needed! Cool finish to level the score. 2:2
 
Dzajic is up next.
He waits for the keeper to dive and shots the other way. What a cool finish! 2:3

The pressure is on Cubilla. Can he level the score and give Gio's team a chance?

Is this the face of a man who breaks under the pressure?

He tricks the keeper, who stands still and puts it in the right corner. 3:3
 
Will Mazurka be intimidated by those glorious mustaches?
Franco Causio is with the ball.

A strong shot to the left - AND MAZURKA SAVES IT! Still 3:3

Will Gerson bring the victory to his team? He doesn't look too confident in himself

And yet, he calmly puts the ball into the opposite corner from the keeper. 4:3
 
The whole "penalties" thing is a little new to Schesternyov - he is used to the good old coin toss, despite not being very good at it. Maybe karma will repay him for that loss in 1968 semi-final?

And he does a panenka! Keeper dives to the right and the score is, again, leveled. 4:4.
 
How did Gio miss? Did he say he missed the penalty?
 
Commercial break. This penalty shoot-out is sponsored by Nike (I hope they'll send me some money)

 
And now Figueroa goes to the ball - you can say that he took his time.

He strikes to the right, while the keeper stands centrally. Nicely done!

You wouldn't want to be the keeper for that one - it's time for overmasculine Italian to take the penalty.

He sends the keeper one way and the ball the other. 5:5
 
Moore takes his penalty with class
a simple kick to the left side lefts the keeper confused. 6:5
 
Piazza vs Mazurka, there is no place for a mistake here
Piazza strikes to the right, but the keeper didn't wait and already jumped... there. Save! @Gio wins 6:5 on penalties
 
Good game @Gio . Tough luck @Tuppet

Can't remember a penalty shootout that went to sudden death on a draft before. Has it ever happened?
 
Unlucky @Tuppet - I thought we were done for at 6-2 down. We mulled over a change but started reeling back the votes.

I honestly think that Gio won the draft here. He was vulnerable now but he probably won't be in the next round.
Let's see though.
 
Woah, that was a good ending to a great game, congrats @Gio @Theon . I agree with harms, with that midfield and defense you should be favorite to win the draft now. Also thanks for organizing the draft @Aldo .
