Commentator loses his s**t at Mexico penalty (Video)

Tom Victor

We really feel for this commentator – we never know when to stop shouting ‘penal’ at full blast either.

It seems as though Univision didn’t have much excitement thrown their way during Mexico’s Gold Cup quarter-final against Costa Rica, so the award of a 120th-minute penalty was enough for plenty of pent-up energy to be released.

Andres Guardado scored the spot-kick, awarded for what I guess we’ll call a foul on Oribe Peralta, to send his team into the semi-finals.

Mexican fans saw the goal as payback for the contentious penalty that allowed The Netherlands to knock them out of the 2014 World Cup.

We’re not sure Costa Rica fans will share their sympathies, though.
