Jamaican striker's 20-second run-up ends in missed penalty

–

Neutral summary

On Thursday, October 15, in the first leg of the Concacaf Caribbean Cup semifinal, Jamaican club Mount Pleasant's striker Trayvone Reid took a penalty that has captured worldwide attention. The player began his run-up from a very long distance and moved toward the ball extremely slowly, taking small steps. According to several outlets, about 20 seconds elapsed from the referee's whistle to the actual kick. The opposing goalkeeper saved the shot, and Reid missed the chance to make it 2-0 for his side. The match ended 1-1. Video of the episode posted on social media has amassed millions of views. French media, notably RMC Sport, note that Reid has been a reliable penalty taker throughout his career, making the miss all the more surprising. Outlets describe the player's run-up as "jerky" and "lunar," while social media users joke: "He's going to shoot... one day."
