And finally… saves galore

You may remember Baroka FC ‘keeper Mamelodi Sundowns making headlines last year after scoring an outrageous overhead kick. He’s back in the news again, but this time for all the wrong reasons. Have a look.

Will we ever tire of seeing a defender bury a header into his own goal? We very much doubt it. This week’s entry into the canon is Joeffrey Cuffaut’s top corner effort, which sent Nancy on their way to a 2-0 home defeat against Bordeaux…

A shirtless buffoon, with terrible touch and technique, invaded the pitch during a recent Honduran fixture between Olimpia and Motagua in an effort to be the centre of attention for a little while . Play continued, however – his scuffed finish ignored by all and sundry.

To the Sao Paulo state leagues this week for And finally… where Sao Bento defender João Paulo scored a remarkable own goal from the half-way line. His attempted backpass sailed over his goalkeeper whose acrobatic efforts almost saved it. Almost.
