BRAZILIAN star Leone was penalised for botching a Jorginho-style penalty during a shoot-out.
The defender was in action for Maranhao against Ferroviario in Brazil.
Leone stepped up to take a penalty
The defender appeared to come to a full stop
The referee disallowed his effort
The two teams faced off in Brazil’s Serie A play-off quarter-finals.
Their clash went to penalties after a dramatic second leg saw the two teams level at 2-2 on aggregate.
Maranhao had appeared to win it, when Carlos Gabriel scored a 92nd minute penalty.
But the match was taken to spot kicks, when Edson turned into his own net on 96 minutes.
Ciel got Ferroviario off to a perfect start in the subsequent shoot-out by scoring.
Then Leone got his effort badly wrong.
The 32-year-old nonchalantly jogged towards the ball.
He then looked to wait for the goalkeeper to move before sending the ball into the unguarded section of the net, as has been famously done on numerous occasions by Arsenal star Jorginho.

To his side’s horror, however, he waited a fraction too long, coming to a complete stop rather than stuttering.
Leone did send the ball into the net, but his effort was ruled out for his infraction.
Penalty takers cannot come to a full stop during their run-ups, with Leone booked by the referee.
Things then deteriorated for Maranhao.
Tarcisio scored for Ferroviario, before Maranhao’s Rafael Teixeira missed.
Gabryel Martins made it 3-0 to the home side, with Fabricio’s miss then consigning Maranhao to quarter-finals defeat.
Ferroviario will next be in semi-finals action on Thursday, for their first leg clash at Caxias-RS.
