WATCH Goalkeeper Leandro Requena scores from goal kick in Chilean football league
Argentinian goalkeeper Leandro Requena has the opportunity to etch his name in the annals of football history. He achieved this feat by scoring directly from a goal kick in Chile’s premier football league. During a match against Colo-Colo, Requena made a daring move in the 77th minute.
With his team leading 2-0, he attempted a remarkable long-distance pass from his own penalty area to one of his forwards. Much to his surprise, the ball sailed over the head of Colo-Colo goalkeeper Brayan Cortés, who was positioned far from his goal line. Cortés had gravely misjudged the ball’s trajectory, leading to Requena’s extraordinary goal.
