Cheeky own goal

Posted on 23rd September 2010

This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.

We were tempted to bring you some sublime skills in this week’s …and finally – we thought we’d probably been a bit unfair on the pros in recent weeks, only highlighting their cock-ups and ridiculous clangers, and that perhaps showing you the odd belting goal would do something to redress the balance.

But then we saw this defender scoring an own-goal with his backside from 15 yards, and all those thoughts went straight out the window!

Vitor Hugo is the offending party, scoring for Portuguesa de Desportos against his own Santo Andre in the Brazilian second division. Bravo, Vitor.

Posted on 1st April 2022

This week’s #ICYMI comes courtesy of the League of Ireland First Division clash between Longford Town and Galway United, as defender Michael McDonnell gifts the visitors the perfect start just 11 minutes in. His blushes would be ultimately spared, however, as the home side ran out 2-1 winners in the end. My my my, what a Galway goal.

The most eye-pleasing goal you’ll see all season?

Posted on 21st April 2023

Amahl Pellegrino isn’t a name that will be familiar to many FSA members, having spent most of his career bobbing about between the Norwegian first and second division. He was the league’s top scorer last season but he’s not just a tap-in merchant. What a pearler this is. One of the most aesthetically pleasing goals you’ll see all season…
