In a Norwegian league soccer match, Jone Samuelsen of Odd Grenland scores a goal on a header...from his own half.
The goal was scored against Tromso IL and is possibly the longest-range headed goal ever. It certainly has to be seen to be believed.
Tromso IL down 2-1 and the match had just entered extra time, so they had all their defenders and their goalkeeper move up to try to score the tying goal, leaving them out of position on defense. However, Samuelsen had to get enough power behind that header to get the ball into the goal without it losing steam and being stopped by a defender before it crossed the goal line, so still very impressive.
