the incredible goal
One goal caught the eye in this match and went viral. It was the one made by Atiba Hutchinson, at 66, to open the scoring. The play was a center by Larin, his teammate finished off the goal in a ‘popcorn’, the ball went to the post and on the rebound it hit the same player in the body and went to the goal, where the goalkeeper threw himself to try to get the ball .
There were moments of confusion, to the point that the rival goalkeeper was going to take the goal, when the referee ratified the goal.
