Two years have passed since the DJMaRiiO team faced the French in Paris and returned home with a defeat. Now, this past Saturday, both teams faced each other again during The Youtubers’ Big Match 5 with a much more favorable result for the Spanish, who won at the Metropolitano Stadium, although not without controversy.
A devastating penalty
Although Spain took the lead in the score from minute 24, the match was not without tension at all times. France had greater ball possession and had several opportunities to score, although they ultimately did not reach their goal. Therefore, the Spanish team remained alert and tense throughout, as the emotions of the match heated up.
After a very eventful second half, including a racism episode, the nerves were on edge as the final minutes of the match approached. However, a last-minute penalty put a discreet DJMaRiiO up until then in the spotlight. So, in the 98th minute, he shot and scored the second goal. The victory was clear.
With the excitement of the match over, DJMaRiiO wanted to relive those moments during one of his live streams. “If I missed it, it would have been a historic screw-up,” he began explaining. “I’m going to confess something about the penalty: I took it calmly. We were in the last minute and, even if I missed it, we would win the game. On the other hand, from the many penalties I have taken in the Kings League, I thought I couldn’t miss it.”
“I think the goalkeeper was expecting me to do a panenka,” he concluded. Additionally, the streamer also showed the trophy, confirming that it was broken, as Amine, the rival captain, had accidentally broken it before the match. “It is glued together with glue, like all my trophies. I don’t know if it’s a curse.”
