Sergio Peña and his impressive run to recover the ball throwing himself in the face at Malmö vs AIK

The steering wheel was on the court until the 102nd minute of the match for the Swedish Cup quarterfinals. Eventually his team advanced to the semifinals.

Sergio Peña is a very talented footballer and his technique stands out most. However, it seems that in Europe it is starting to add new features to its game, such as the recovery of the ball and the commitment to the mark, something that was not used to be in Liga 1. In Malmö's 3-2 win over AIK for the Swedish Cup, the steering wheel made an impressive journey to recover the ball anyway and ended up succeeding.

By the end of the regular 90 minutes, both teams had scored two goals and had to solve it first in overtime. Former Alianza Lima remained on the pitch, but after 99 minutes he lost a ball on the way out about half of the court. Despite the tiredness for all the time played, the footballer decided to recover the ball anyway.

Approximately 40 meters he ran behind the rival striker and when he passed the big area he decided to throw himself on his face as a last effort. The opponent had moved the ball to the right to shoot at the goal, but the call to the Peruvian national team came first and avoided what could have been the goal of AIK's victory. The action was applauded by the fans at the stadium.
