In a Mexican second division soccer match, Universidad Guadalajara goalkeeper Sergio Rodriguez scored an unfortunate own goal for the opposing Cruz Azul Hidalgo after a penalty shot bounced off the post into his crotch.
Although Rodriguez dove the wrong way on the penalty kick, it seemed for a brief second that he got lucky when the ball hit the post. However, as fate would have it, the ball somehow took an unbelievable bounce off the post and straight into the groin of Rodriguez, then slowly rolled into the net.
An own goal can be embarrassing enough, but this one takes things to a whole new level. On the other hand, that's a one in a million shot by the Cruz Azul Hidalgo player.
To top it all off, the own goal by Rodriguez was the only goal of the game, giving Cruz Azul Hidalgo the 1-0 victory.
