And You Thought Djimi Traore’s Own Goal Was Bad…

This magnificent own goal is from last Thursday’s Hungarian Cup second leg tie between Debrecen and Fehervar. Fehervar had won the first leg 2-1, but champions Debrecen were winning the second leg 2-1 in the 86th minute. Extra time beckoned until Fehervar gave away a penalty. The penalty was saved, but – possibly because God hates Fehervar – defender Jan Durica fired the ball into the top right corner.

Either Durica was trying a little too hard to clear the ball, or he was showing the penalty taker how it should be done. You can tell exactly how crushed the Fehervar players are by the way they all fall to the floor in despair. At least the ref sees the funny side though.

Own goal scholars are encouraged to compare and contrast with Djimi Traore’s 2005 effort.
