We’d usually give a goal of such divine importance, skill and timing the title of ‘something you could only dream of’. But this went beyond all conceivable imagination…
Goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke redefined greatness on 30th November 2016. Thrown up front for a corner in a desperate bid to snatch a point for struggling Baroka FC against Orlando Pirates, he was only told to leave his goal to ‘create a bit of pressure’ in the box.
He did more than that. Much, much more:
As the keeper punched away the looping corner kick, it bounced towards the edge of the box. Masuluke chased it down and, with his back to goal, hooked the ball over his head and into the top corner with the last kick of the game. 1-1, game saved.
Orlando Pirates fans went silent. Baroka supporters went mad. The video went viral.
