'The Longest Penalty Shot in the World', also known as 'El Penalti ms largo del mundo', is a 2005 Spanish comedy film.
Synopsis
Fernando is a failed football goalkeeper who is finding it hard to find his bread and butter. During the final local league soccer game of the season, goalkeeper Roman (Benito Sagredo) is injured and useless Fernando (Fernando Tejero) steps in to face a last-minute penalty kick. But before it's converted, the unruly crowd spills onto the field preventing the game from continuing, and the referee decrees the penalty must be retaken one week later. With money in the balance and a chance for the team to advance to a more prestigious league, the hitherto unpopular Fernando suddenly finds himself getting kid glove treatment, with team coach Santos (Carlos Kaniowsky) even arranging a date with Roman's reluctant girlfriend Cecilia (Marta Larralde), whom Fernando fancies.
