Goalkeeper turns his back when Ramos takes penalty

Goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán was criticized for his controversial actions when facing Sergio Ramos in round 15 of Liga MX (Mexico National Championship) Clausura 2025.

Sergio Ramos defeats goalkeeper's trick On the morning of April 13, in Tigres' 2-1 victory over Monterrey in round 15 of Liga MX, Sergio Ramos scored from the penalty spot despite being provoked by goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán.

On the morning of April 13, in Tigres' 2-1 victory over Monterrey, Tigres goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán turned his back on defender Sergio Ramos as the player prepared to take a penalty kick for the away team. According to El Universal , this was seen as Guzmán's provocative act towards Ramos, so that the Spanish defender would be distracted and could miss the shot.

Guzmán has been known for his eccentric antics in Mexican football over the years. In 2023, he even wore an amulet and performed magic tricks during a CONCACAF Champions Cup match.

However, Guzmán's controversial actions could not help him make Ramos miss the shot. The Monterrey captain still easily scored from 11 meters away, opening the score 1-0 for the visitors. Although later, the home team Tigres also scored 2 goals to complete the comeback.

Speaking on TNT Sports , former Mexican professional referee Felipe Ramos Rizo questioned the legality of goalkeeper Guzmán's act of turning his back. Rizo stressed that according to the rules of football, the goalkeeper must stand on the goal line, between the two goalposts, facing the kicker until the ball is kicked.

The law also prohibits goalkeepers from making movements that could distract the kicker in an unsportsmanlike manner. Therefore, the former Mexican referee believes that goalkeeper Guzmán should be booked and strictly prohibited from turning his back in the above situation.
