Varzim goalkeeper scores with pitch-length kick in Portuguese match

The 38-year-old goalkeeper Ricardo Nunes scored directly from his own box as his side, Varzim, won 2-0 at home to Mafra in LigaPro in Portugal. Believe it or not, it's actually the second goal the keeper has scored in his career. With the score at 1-0 just after the start of the second half, Nunes kicks the ball from his hands deep into the opposition half. After one bounce, the ball loops over Nunes's bemused opposite number.
