Cool way to decide a football play-off

Last game moments, Sporting Lisbon is losing an away game vs dutch Twente by 1-0.

The goal keeper decides he's teh chosen one and tells the corner kicker to wait for him:



1-1 makes Sporting Lisbon go through to the next Champions League qualifiers because of the away goal! (In Lisbon the result had been a depressive 0-0)

Wow somebody already gobbled up the rights to this video and had it removed from you-tube. Shame.

Mind you this isn't the first time I've heard of a keeper run forward to score from a corner, though perhaps the first time a keeper attempted such a move with such high stakes.

Thanks Hope.


It is common to see goalkeepers try their luck, but it is rare to see a goal scored like this :p
