How to perform it: (Playstation) Hold L2, press square and then X. (Xbox) Hold LT, press X, then A. The fake 'Rabona' skill move is a great way of beating a defender and checking back inside to get a shot on goal. Your player will shape to execute a normal rabona shot or pass (as seen in point nine of this article) but rather than kick the ball forward they will simply control the ball and move off in a different direction. The move is a great way to create space for yourself and time to drive forward or pick out a through ball.
