Burkina Faso goalkeeper performs six back flips after winning AFCON penalty shoot-out

Burkina Faso goalkeeper Herve Koffi had an afternoon to remember at the Africa Cup of Nations, and he made sure the world was aware of his feat after an acrobatic display after a penalty shoot-out against Gabon.

Koffi, who plays for Charleroi in Belgium, was spotted crouching down near the by-line as Ismahila Ouedraogo stepped up to take what would end up being the winning penalty.

As soon as the ball hit the back of the net, though, the 25-year-old was on his feet, running down the line and performing a series of somersaults to celebrate the victory.
