'Tandem' kick in Argentina

Eurosport - Thu, 22 Apr 15:12:00 2010

Here is one for the dubious goals panel; a remarkable double overhead kick for Gimnasia La Plata against Boca Juniors in the Argentine league.

2010 Gimnasia-Boca - 0

As the ball loops up off a defender, Sebastian Romero (on the left) and Marco Perez both have the same idea, and the combined force of their joint volley carries the ball into the Boca net.

We're not sure what to call this, but we'll go for a 'tandem' since it was a two-man bicycle kick.

After forensic examination, the goal was awarded to Perez, but we think the pair should have taken half a goal each.

  16. Since the ball was kicked by 2 players, why can't­ it be 2 goals then??

  17. Comment hidden due to its low rating. Show

    This kind of goal is not common in football , most­ espacially in American soccer .
    I give those guys a­ 100% credit for that powerful kick.
    One must be very­ flexible to kick from behind and from upside down.
    I­ have been playing football since the age of 6 and know­ in a second division Club , i only scored with this­ type of kick 14 times in my entire life as a footballer­ . most of the time my kick from this possition hits the­ post bar.
