Ashad Ali (born 14 September 1986), nicknamed Adey or Adubarey, is a Maldivian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Club Valencia.
[3] Adey gained global notability after simulating a fall prior to the run up of a penalty shootout in the third place match of the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup against Afghanistan, deceiving goalkeeper Mansur Faqiryar.
[5] A similar move was pulled off by Thomas Müller later that year during the 2014 FIFA World Cup (Germany v Algeria).
In the 88th minute, Thomas Müller deceptively stumbled while lining up the kick, before getting up and running through the Algerian wall.
A few days later, Müller admitted to a German TV reporter that the free kick was a designed play.
