Brazilian goalkeeper scores an own goal - with his face
Own goals seldom get more bizarre (or comedic) than this.
During a Brazilian second division match, Boa Esporte goalkeeper Joao Carlos flapped spectacularly trying to stop an Avai cross.
While one of his defenders managed to clear the resulting shot off the line, the ball flew smack into the face of the retreating Carlos, who diverted it into the back of the net.
It was a fitting end to Avai's counter-attack, which began as a result of a poorly-worked Esporte corner.
Perhaps Carlos might want to watch Mexican striker Javier Hernandez and learn how to pull off the same trick - at the right end of the pitch.
