bet365 Never Ordinary Stories is a 12-part original series celebrating the World Cup moments that live on long after the final whistle. Each episode revisits the iconic plays, unforgettable characters and defining moments that have shaped football history, bringing fans closer to the stories behind the game's greatest memories.
This episode explores the legend of Colombian goalkeeper René Higuita and his unforgettable Scorpion Kick; an audacious piece of improvisation that transformed a routine save into one of football's most enduring moments. More than just a highlight, it became a symbol of Higuita's fearless personality and a reminder that football's greatest moments aren't always about goals—they're about daring to do the extraordinary.
Presented by Michelle Escobar, the series was filmed on a bespoke custom-built set in Studio 3, creating a premium editorial look that reflected the scale of the stories being told. Produced as a flagship content series for the tournament, all 12 episodes were distributed across the bet365 ecosystem and social channels, extending the brand's Never Ordinary platform through engaging, shareable storytelling for football fans throughout the World Cup.
