Here's another wacky video from a Brazilian soccer match, this time from a regional division. The game was between Guarani (at home) and Sergipe (away) and the visitors were leading 1-0 with just a few minutes remaining. The home side had a corner kick and they decided to send everybody upfront, including the goalkeeper.
Â
But disaster struck, the away team got the ball and launched the counter attack, everything was set for an empty-netter...
Â
... but a quick fan jumped from the stands and took the goalie's position and even managed to clear the ball off the line! :) The crowd was, obviously, roaring!
Â
Â
And now comes the best part: he did manage to save the goal! The referee couldn't have given Sergipe a goal, because the ball didn't go in! In such situations the rules say that play is resumed with a neutral ball in the midfield circle, or at least that's what I know.
Â
Sergipe did win the game 1-0 though.
