Following their four missed penalties in

today's Copa America quarterfinal loss

, the Brazilian soccer team might want to take some tips from the bizarre shootout style of the United Arab Emirates midfielder Theyab Awana.

During a friendly against Lebanon in the weekend, Awana capped off the 7-2 thrashing in the 78th minute by back-heeling a penalty attempt past Lebanese goalkeeper Hassan Moghnieh.

Moghnieh was left flat-footed as the UAE midfielder ran up to take the shot, calmly turned around and back-heeled the ball with his right foot into the back of the net.

The referee obviously wasn't amused, giving Awana a yellow card for his actions.
