A goalkeeper for Ligue 1 club Brest thanked his lucky stars on Wednesday after he almost scored one of the most humiliating own goals ever. Thankfully for him, people will instead be Googling “Gautier Larsonneur clearance” for years to come.
Larsonneur was happy as could be during his team’s match against OGC Nice. With ten minutes left before halftime, his team was up 2-0 and he had nothing to worry about.
With the score level at 0-0 after the first leg, Moroccan champions Raja Casablanca and Senegalese champions Teungueth risked it all in the rain and standing water on Tuesday with a spot in the group stage of the 2020-21 CAF Champions League on the line.
The score would again finish 0-0 at Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca, Morocco, and you’re about to see why.
Ridiculous conditions in Casablanca ♂️
Bayer Leverkusen missed a chance to go to the top of the Bundesliga table on Saturday, but it wasn’t from lack of trying from the team’s No. 11. Eintracht Frankfurt rallied for a 2-1 victory through an Amin Younes strike and an unfortunate Edmond Tapsoba own goal. Neither will be remembered as long as the Nadiem Amiri goal vs Frankfurt.
Every generation has a handful of goals that seem to captivate every fan and live on in footballing lore for years to come. Goals that define an era.
Some of those new adidas boots are awfully hard to get on. Just look at this young Bolivian pup — we’ll call him Barko Etcheverry — trying to lace-up for his local Primera División side.
The shoe wouldn’t fit, so he was forced to quit (after a period of feigning injury and rolling around the pitch).
