Making headlines worldwide, the penalty has even split news outlets.
The Sun described it as "magnificently cheeky," while UK site Give Me Sport labelled it as a "beautiful accident".
Sport Bible dubbed it the first ever 'false Panenka' debating whether Bautheac actually meant for it to land the way it did.
"It takes a lot guts to take a Panenka penalty because if you mess it up then it you get completely embarrassed but Éric Bauthéac has proved the exception to the rule by scoring despite seemingly messing up his panenka," they wrote.
"... That's either the best penalty ever taken or the best miss-hit and, whilst I'd like to believe it's the former, it definitely feels like it's the miss-hit."
