The goalkeeper did not believe that the ball would reach his possession. And then I had to take the bottle.
The First League, also known among the people as the “Best League in the World”, continues to amaze football fans with goals for every taste. This time, an unbanal goal could be observed in Ulyanovsk, where the local Volga hosted the Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik. A kick from the center of the field took the goalkeeper by surprise.
He did not have time to stop the miracle goal.
Midfielder’s Crazy Thought
Ulyanovsk “Volga” for its third match after promotion in the class is not yet shining with results. The team, which has risen to the First League from the Second, does not manage to get a debut victory in any way. After a draw in the game with Yenisei, the Volga players lost to Ufa, and now they couldn’t get points in the confrontation with Neftekhimik.
The Nizhnekamsk team, having tested all the possible outcomes of matches at the start of the season, seized the advantage at the beginning of the second half. Forward Merabi Uridiya converted a penalty kick. Volga did not find an answer to the opponent’s effective attack, and at the end of the meeting they missed again.
At the fifth minute added to the regular time of the match, many participants were already dreaming of the final whistle. But midfielder Maxim Laikin was not one of those, who came on as a substitute only in the 72nd minute and had not yet had time to enjoy the game to the fullest. The 19-year-old football player took possession of the ball in his own half of the field, got to the middle, and then a crazy idea came to him to hit the goal. Perhaps he was just in a hurry to break through before the referee announced the end of the match, or he believed very much in his scoring instinct.

Thought – implemented. Volga goalkeeper Semyon Morozov apparently did not believe that the ball, which was somewhere very far away, would so quickly be in his possession. And it’s not like the gatekeeper went on a long walk in the style of Manuel Neuer.
He lost the gate a little, but still there was a chance for salvation. The goalkeeper was even close to preventing the creation of a masterpiece. But where is it – the insidious ball darted past the hands right on target. Morozov, in frustration, took up the bottle, but did not drink, but threw it to the ground in his hearts. And what else was left to do – a miracle goal was scored in his gate.
