Fans and pundits noted that during the penalty kick, Lewandowski lacked his signature stop before striking. Even scientists from Gdańsk University of Technology have looked into the case. According to them, this change was one of the reasons for the failure.
The “left” modified its way of moving and did not, as usual, change the pace in the previous period. Previously, he would always slow down immediately before kicking the ball, but this time he ran towards it at a more or less constant speed. Consequently, his movement before the kick was less springy, and his foot moved along a flat trajectory – as described by the prof. Aleksandra Miliucek-Grio, quoted by radiogdansk.pl.
