Well, this is one way to impact a penalty shootout.
Looking to help France book their place in the final of the European Under-17 Championship in Bulgaria, 'keeper Luca Zidane - that's right, the son of French football icon Zinedine Zidane - illustrated why he plays in between the posts and not in the midfield like his father.
