In the clip posted on Thursday, October 15, Tugi stepped up to the spot dressed in a yellow T-shirt and black shorts.
Is Tugi a good footballer?
With the ball placed and a keeper waiting, a sizeable crowd gathered around him. The youngster showed no nerves, converting the penalty cleanly and sending those present into wild celebrations.

Rather than simply basking in the proud-dad moment, Njugush leaned into the joke, crafting an elaborate "rate card" for any club brave enough to come calling for his son's services.
He announced Tugi as Manchester United's potential saviour and positioned himself as the boy's manager, before listing the transfer demands.
"Guys, we have a Manchester saviour. Tugi is the name. Let Manchester United talk to his manager (Me)," the comedian wrote, before laying out the terms:
Tugi (Number 9) rate card.
1. Maize flour 5 kg
2. 6 small vanilla cakes
3. Tomato-flavoured crisps
4. Three milk goats and 1 Billy goat
5. One kilogram of salt
6. Two German shepherds, male and female
7. Goose for security
8. Two rat traps
9. A chicken egg incubator
10. Fertiliser (two buckets)
11. Onion seedlings
12. Butter
What did I forget?”
The post quickly gained traction online, with followers unable to hold back their reactions. Here is what some of them had to say:
@phil_director:
"And just like that, we are rich."
@yasmin___safiah_:
"Messi, Messi."
@luvusi_bruce:
"The goalkeeper should be fired."
@ian_thecrewke:
"Is this a rate card or a shopping list?"
@wambuinjau6:
"Tugi to Manchester United, here we go."
@tantasha_monvegas:
"This list, waaaah."
The combination of Tugi's composed finish and Njugush's uniquely Kenyan take on football transfers proved to be a hit, with many fans agreeing the rate card reads less like a transfer demand and more like a weekly shopping list. Either way, young Tugi has clearly got people talking.
Why Conte could appeal to United
In other news, Manchester United’s poor form increased pressure on Michael Carrick, with Antonio Conte reportedly open to taking over if the club decides to change managers.
The Red Devils have won just once in six league matches and exited the Carabao Cup, raising questions about Carrick’s future at Old Trafford.
