Unknown African Footballer Invents Dazzling, Daring and Sensational New Football Skill

• Football players continue to amaze us all with what they are capable of doing on the field
• This time, an unnamed football player somewhere on the African continent showed trickery of the most extraordinary kind
• A short video on social media showed him passing the ball, using a complex technique that would bamboozle anyone unfortunate enough to mark him

The term 'only in Africa' is an apt one to describe what is doing the rounds on social media.

A video shows a yet-to-be-named football player for a yet-to-be-determined team somewhere on the continent, revealing to the world a new trick with the ball.

With amused teammates watching on, he begins by back-tracking with the ball under his feet, before agilely bending over to shuffle it forward using the crown of his head.

As if this was not enough, he then flicks it up using his right foot and left ankle, arching backward before volleying the ball forwards using the back of his head, this time.

As reported by Sports Brief, the Burundian became the first player in the history of the Premier Soccer League to claim a hat-trick that came entirely from the penalty spot. This is a very rare feat for any footballer to achieve.

On June 2, 2004 for example, the legendary Brazilian wizard Ronaldo scored all three goals from the penalty spot against arch-rivals Argentina.
