Why did this guy decide to lie down on the floor in the dying minutes? the vast majority of free kicks are not grounders so why did he lie down instead of joining the rest of the wall?

After careful analysis, it has been discovered that Onyekuru demonstrated the"log" sleeping position.

Funny enough, he was lying down facing the goal post and he would have watched helplessly as the ball flew into the net.

It's actually popular in football for defending freekicks close to the 18 yard box.

It's common when you face demons like Messi, De Bruyne etc at freekicks . Wouldn't blame him though but an extra man on the wall would have made it really difficult for Mahrez. But as usual, when you pull it off, you're a genius. When you don't, you're stupid

very funny

To allow the Akpeyi guy assess the situation well, which he didn't but decided to dive aimlessly.

Wrong.

At times, free kickers allow the walls to jump and hit the ball low on the ground. Onyekuru had to lie on the ground to prevent such situation.

Unfortunately, Mahrez went for the angle where Akpeyi supposedly covered and the ball went in

They do it everytime in la liga because of Messi's freekick that looks like penalty to him.

To prevent the free-kick from being played underground when the wall jumps
