Bayer Leverkusen 'ghost goal' - the most bizarre goal in football? | #BTSport

[Alexoiz]

I love the fact, that this is rarer than a goal from the goalkeeper.

[davewalmash]

0:18 that smile! The cheeky "I've got something I shouldn't have" smile.

[Mr__Snrub]

“Is there a hole in the net?”
“There’s loads of them mate”

[sebassurviver]

Imagine if VAR had been used at that match. The referee would have gone nuts after seeing the repetition.

[aaronmanthey]

I remember when this happened. The ref checked the replay at the end of the match and noticed it was in fact not a goal and found the hole in the net but I believe they still allowed the win. The player that scored explained his end of what happened and how baffled he was at the time.

[danieloletu]

Strangely enough the goalkeeper didn't even protest

[G-B-F]

I'm not an analyst, but after watching and breaking down this video, I came to the conclusion that I can not say anything because like I mentioned before, I am not an analyst.

Simple explanation : There's a hole in the net
YouTube community : *NAH THIS IS MATRIX MAGIC*

One of the strings is loose/cutt, start looking at 0:44, 0:45, 0:46, The damaged string is horizontal one. 9th when counting from down to up.

VAR in England would need about 15 mins and a professor in algebra / geometry before they could solve this one

[adivoma]

Finally I understand why refs check the net every time

In middle school I had the exact opposite thing happen. The ball went in the top right corner of the goal and out through a small hole in the net. Everyone except the ref knew it went in. We were all headed back to the mid-line when he waived it off, forcing a goal kick. I will never forget that moment, or the ref who screwed me.

Even if there is a hole in the net. All of the opponent still "blinded". Even the goalkeeper is "blinded". This is the actual ghost effect.

[mobatumi]

This already happened during the World Cup of 1962. USSR attacking player Igor Netto scored against Uruguay through a hole in the net. The referee counted that goal. But Netto explained to him the situation and asked to cancel the goal. That has attributed to Netto a reputation of a most honest player in history.

YouTube recommended this for me in 2019

The developers are working on this bug/exploit as we speak right now.

[WoutervanWilligen]

The referee was Felix Brych.
The goal was awarded.
VAR wasn't born yet.
Leverkusen won 1-2.
After the match Kießling apologized to the Hoffenheim fans on his FB page and mentioned he told the ref the ball hadn't gone in.
Leverkusen director Rudi Völler suggested to replay the match from the 70th minute onwards.
The result was never changed.

[AbiManyu-kqjj]

the thing that makes this goal absolutely bizarre is:
- no one questioning it even the commentator and the opposite player
- the scorer knew the ball went wide and seeing his friends cheering he just went along with

[abhaybhullar]

0:17 that laugh
He knew it was not goal

[sarmadhabibkhan]

Mad respect for the dude that hot the goal for at least trying to get the ref to reverse that
