Telemundo Deportes, the Spanish-language home of the 2018 FIFA World Cup™, today announced the premiere of its first-ever, original documentary-style sports production QUE MOMENTO (What A Moment), this Saturday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. CT on Telemundo. The new primetime special will present new episodes every quarter, taking an in-depth journalistic look at some of the greatest and most memorable moments in sports history.
The show title, "Que Momento," was born from Andres Cantor's signature phrase used to callout the most exciting or emotional moments in a soccer match. The four-time Emmy Award winner commentator will serve as the host of the program, along with the contribution of other Telemundo Deportes' on-air talent. Premiering the day after the Final Draw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™, the first episode #NoEraPenal captures the Mexican National Team's (MNT) impressive and unforgettable journey leading into the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the now famous match against Netherlands with the dubious late penalty call that eliminated El Tri. This first special further explores the moment in which the MNT lost its chance to advance to a famed "fifth World Cup Match," when many believed Dutch forward Arjen Robben flopped his way into a penalty kick with just minutes left in the game. In addition, the one-hour show captures the aftermath of that moment including the Mexican fans' "No Era Penal," a widespread cultural and viral movement that resonated around the world across social media.Videos
