The most absurd penalty ever thrown by a Japanese high school football team player was a 30 second run-up.

Despite the unconventional method, the player from Ryutsu Keizai Ogashi high school was able to send the goalkeeper the wrong way and convert for his team.

However, from the reactions to a replay of the play-up and the subsequent goal, you can see that the winning penalty will not be a model for other professional players looking to maintain their popularity with fans.

The match at the All Japan High School tournament between Ryutsu Keizai Ogashi and Kindai Wakayama finished level, and was taken to penalties.

Ryutsu Ogashi Keizai missed the first spot kick. Their opponents scored.

It was then that the match took a bizarre turn, with Ryutsu Keizai Ogashi’s Number 5 stepping up to the spot.

Video footage of the penalty revealed that the number five of the team walked up to the penalty spot in no hurry, and placed the ball on his feet.

After looking at the ball for some time, the player took a step backwards and began to gaze directly at goalkeeper.

To signal the start of play, the referee let loose his whistle. But Number 5, who seemed determined to take his time, did not hesitate to start.

The referee blew his whistle to signal that the player may commence. However, Number 5 appeared determined to do things in his own time. After standing still for 14 more seconds (pictured), all while staring at the goalkeeper, he began his run up

Although there were a few cheers from the crowd to indicate relief, Number 5 did finally take his penalty kick. Ryutsu Ogashi was victorious in the penalty shoot-out 4-2, but many commentators seemed confused.

One person shared the video and wrote, “Enjoy this complete absurdity.” ‘And in today’s episode of mad things to happen in the All Japan High School tournament… a 30 second penalty run-up,’ another person wrote.

The ‘Longest penality taken. What’s going on there Japan?’ Another person added an emoji of a woman crying and laughing to the letter.

“I never expected anyone to be more absent from my life.” It includes the Italia 90 semi final,” a fourth person stated, alluding to England’s loss in 1990 to Germany. 

This isn’t the first incident that has seen the All Japan High School Tournament make headlines due to an unorthodox set piece.

In their last match against Star Ridge, the Takagawa Gakuen Yamaguchi-based team made a spectacular move.

A Takagawa Gakuen attacker was fouled on the right flank. After that, several attackers formed an entourage to the opposite box. They held hands, danced around, and then positioned themselves for the free kick.

After holding hands and dancing around as their team-mate lined up the free kick, the attackers suddenly broke formation and sprinted in different directions towards the goal

The attackers jumped in various directions and ran towards the goal after dancing and holding hands as they watched their teammates line up the kick.

The players ran off to celebrate their unique set piece success, while the Star Ridge players looked on forlornly

Star Ridge looked on in dismay as the Star Ridge team celebrated their success with a set of unique pieces.

Star Ridge players couldn’t understand the situation, as Star Ridge defense players lined up in disarray with no clue what was happening from the set-piece.

As the kick-taker was about to start his run, the entire circle vanished. The attackers began sprinting toward the goal, perfect timing. This sent the defense into confusion.

It was then whipped towards the back and was perfectly headed in, to complete a cute but also effective move.

Takagawa Gakuen was victorious in the 4-2 game to advance to the second round Japan’s 100th National High School Soccer Tournament.
