This week’s #ICYMI comes from Hee-Chan Hwang who plays for a fizzy drinks manufacturer in Austria. Watch him do well to beat the offside trap and round the keeper, but spurn his chance. Luckily for Red Bull Salzburg, the Korean would later salvage a point.
Does anyone attempting a stupid two-man penalty routine deserve to miss, like Rayo Vallecano did against Girona this week? In our humble opinion, it would have to be yes.
Finland’s women beat Scotland this week with a very dramatic late winner in the 95th minute from Amanda Rantanen. Making her debut for the national side, the 22-year forward was overcome with emotion and/or pain as her breakaway goal secured victory for Finland in the European Championship qualifier.
Did you think somersault thrown-ins were a thing of the past? Well think again, as it’s all the rage in the Iranian Premier League. Peykan FC deployed it to hilarious effect this week against Gol Gohar’s rather hapless looking goalkeeper.
There’s always been a certain something special about Brazilian football, and even when it comes to clangers they somehow manage to pull them off with more panache, too. This passage of play from Corinthians versus São Paulo has a little bit of everything for the discerning #ICYMI devotee – a ludicrously over-confident goalkeeper coming a cropper, an outfield player falling over for no reason, and some ropey finishing, all topped off with that trademark excitable Brazilian commentary.
