My theory is that, on penalties, Michaely Bihina does not choose a side to dive to. She simply tries to save the shot.
Since the women aren’t hitting the ball as hard, and it isn’t traveling at crazy speed, it’s easier to just wait for the kicker to shoot. Then dive.
Got to appreciate the old school approach of hitting an incumbent president with a good old fashioned sex scandal when trying to get him out of office when legitimate channels have failed
