So sneaky and so good.

LONDON -- Penalty trick shots are not for the faint hearted.

If you can pull it off, you'll look like a total badass. If you miss, you'll be the laughing stock of the football pitch.

During a charity match between Swansea City's All Stars and Briton Ferry Llansawel's over 35s, former professional footballer Lee Trundle did not miss.

Here he is taking what may be the world's sneakiest penalty.

They don't come much cheekier than that, do they?

The match took place on the weekend, and the clip has been shared on Twitter thousands of times.

Here it is from a different angle, where you can see exactly how fed up the keeper looks.

To make things even better, Trundle finished that match with a double hat-trick.

Simply glorious.
