Kazakhstan’s local propagandists have gone overboard in trying to impress their president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, ultimately portraying him in a not-so-flattering light.

During a visit to a sports complex in the village of Sarzhansay in Aktobe Oblast on Dec. 6, he decided to loosen up a bit and showcase his soccer skills to the teenagers, managing to score a really “fantastic” goal.

However, unfortunately for Tokayev, the goal wasn’t quite due to skill as much as the “editing magic” of Kazakh propagandists.

A video of this embarrassment quickly spread across social media, prompting sarcastic mockery from users.

Perceptive netizens noted that at the seventh second of the footage, there are clear signs of video manipulation – thanks to which the ball not only slips past the goalkeeper into the net but also, upon reaching it, unexpectedly changes its pattern and colors.
