Goalies - unlike other football players in their team- are allowed to dive.The ref has no objection to goalies diving.In fact they are encouraged to do so.
Neymar tried a fancy "Panenka" penalty assuming that the goalie would display normal goalkeeping behaviour and dive either to the right or to the left.However the Vitoria goalie Lee just stood there and Neymar was baffled.
And also left looking a bit foolish.
The Incident occured around 73 minutes into the first leg of the Brazilian Cup Final.Santos were already winning 1 - 0 at that stage and went on to finish the game 2 - 0 .
