Beginning his run-up on the edge of the box, Osvaldo Martínez scored this penalty for Club América in their 2016 Clausura quarterfinal game vs Chivas Guadalajara. Martínez’s goal was the equaliser and América then went on to win the game.

Club America faced Chivas in the Mexican Clausura quarter-finals. The first game in Guadalajara ended 0-0. 

The two sides then met at the Estadio Azteca. Orbelin Pineda put Chivas ahead after nine minutes and as it was an away goal, Club America needed two. 18 minutes later, Club America were awarded a penalty and Osvaldo Martinez, now at Puebla, converted a penalty after a very long run up. America went on to win the contest with an Oribe Peralta goal in the 64th minute.
