Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Goalkeeper scores from a goal kick – it could set the record for the longest range goal in history
On March 18 at the Cobresal’s stadium in El Salvacor, Chile, Chilean Primera Division club Cobresal’s goalkeeper Leandro Requena scored directly from a goal kick. His big kick flew over the head of all 20 outfield players without bouncing before the ball pitched midway inside the Colo-Colo half. The ball then bounced over the head of the Colo-Colo’s keeper, who was around 10 yards outside of his penalty area. The ball kept moving toward the goal while the keeper tried to chase it but stumbled. Then the world’s longest goal was made by a goalkeeper from a distance of over 100 meters. The goal kick originally didn’t look offensive or anything but bounced higher than the Colo-Colo’s keeper had anticipated. True. The stadium sits at 2,400 meters above sea level, where any air-filled ball bounces much higher than sea level.
Enjoy watching this amazing goalkeeper’s goal kick.
