France's Macron scores penalty in charity soccer match
The Peninsula
PARIS - French President Emmanuel Macron scored a penalty goal when he turned out for a team of celebrities in a charity match on Thursday.
Macron, playing in midfield and wearing the number 3 on his back, was handed the ball and invited to take the spot kick after an opposing player brought down one of Macron's team-mates in the penalty box.
Macron, who is 43, fired his shot low and into the centre of the goal, wrong-footing the goalkeeper who had already started diving to his right. The goal-keeper managed to get a leg to the ball, but could not keep it out of the net.
