Goal scored by the goalkeeper from his own small box
With the score 2-0 for his team, Leandro Requena scored from one goal to the other, taking advantage of his counterpart’s mistake, writes Mundo Deportivo.
Requena cleared hard from the six-yard box, while Colo Colo goalkeeper Brayan Cortes was well outside the goal area.
The ball surprised the opponents, who failed to intervene, and Cortes, who had the instinct to stop the ball, finally let it pass, resulting in a goal rarely seen on football pitches, from a distance of about 100 meters.
In the end, Cobresal prevailed with a score of 3-1.
