On Tuesday evening, in the first quarter-final of this year’s DFB Cup competition, penalties once again played a central role. There were two games, one for Düsseldorf and one for St. Pauli, in regular time, the final score was 1:1. And because Hamburg equalized Düsseldorf’s 2-1 lead in the last minute of extra time, the decision was made in the showdown from the point.
“Anyone who dies in the 120th minute usually dies in a penalty shootout,” Düsseldorf coach Daniel Thioune also believed he knew one of these wisdoms about penalties. And then he saw his player Christos Tzolis decide the game with a goal casually lobbed into the middle of the goal, the so-called “Panenka”. Thioune didn’t like that at all. “Completely inappropriate,” he found the way Tziolis loaded the opposing goalkeeper. “I’m not a fan of it. I also think that’s disrespectful to the opponent,” he said.
Thioune also admitted that he basically had no reason to “scold” Tziolis (“Whoever scores is right”). But in the age-old dispute about whether the end justifies the means or whether higher but unwritten laws also apply to sport, he had taken a clear position. There are similar debates in other sports too.
In tennis, the bottom serve is the starting point for many controversies. Some consider it a legitimate tactic against extremely deep return players. The others for a means of provocation, even mocking the opponent. Even in handball, the seven-meter penalty that is lobbed over the goalkeeper is a thorn in the side of some people.
St. Pauli’s Marcel Hartel took three penalties on Tuesday evening. In the 60th minute of the game he shot to the bottom left, in the penalty shootout halfway into the middle, and when the penalty had to be retaken, into the bottom right corner.
Fortuna keeper Florian Kastenmeier saved the last two penalties. Finally, one more piece of wisdom: the best penalties are the ones that go in. There’s nothing disrespectful about it.
