Komi Ryota spent ten seconds taking a stuttering run-up to his penalty kick in the 99th All-Japan High School Championship.

Leaning forwards while slowly moving towards the ball, propelled by his feet drumming quickly and alternately into the turf, it made for an amusing spectacle.
After a patient wait, the opposition goalkeeper guessed the right way but Ryota tucked his shot cleanly into the corner then wheeled away grinning.
