The semi-final of a cup competition in Thailand went to a very long shootout, and knotted at 19-all, Bangkok Sports Club sent their goalkeeper to the spot.
This goal is unlikely to ever be nominated for the PUSKAS award, but it is certainly remarkable in its own right as one of the strangest and flukiest penalty kicks ever.
The keeper goes high and nails it off the crossbar. Satri Angthong's goalkeeper runs past him celebrating as the ball lands, spins backwards, and keeps going into the net.
By the time the horrified shot stopper realizes, it's far too late, and Bangkok's keeper thanks the football gods and the glory of backspin.
The player's reactions say it all as the shooter slumps while the keeper jumps for joy. Then the moment of realization as despair turns to relief and jubilation to disbelief. Satri go on to miss their next kick and Bangkok win the shootout 20-19.
