34 penalties were recorded in a qualifying match between Ajax and Panathinaikos, which is now a new record for UEFA competitions. The ‘mega-shoot-out’ surpassed the previous record of 32 attempts at the European U-21 Championship semi-final in 2007 where the Netherlands beat England 13-12. After winning the first leg of the competition, Ajax conceded a goal in the 89th minute. The match went into the shoot-out where Ajax claimed the victory after a 13-12 final score. Ajax keeper Remko Pasveer made five saves and scored on his own attempt to help the hosts win the shootout. The world record for the longest shootout was set in May when Israeli third-tier clubs SC Dimona and Shimshon Tel Aviv took 56 penalties to resolve its semifinal promotion playoff tie.
