Goalkeeper Juan Carlos Has To Win Best Goal Of 2018 After Scoring From 60 Yards

Lugo goalkeeper Juan Carlos Martín Corra smashed a ball from 60 yards to score the most ridiculous goal earlier this year

Carlos had the vision to catch Sporting Gijon counterpart Diego Marino off his line with a weighted hit, and many people are saying it could be a goal of the season contender.

To put the icing on top of the cake, Juan Carlos' goal landed on his 30th birthday - the best present ever?
Apart from Rogerio Ceni and Jose Luis Chilavert banging goals in for fun despite playing in between the sticks, you don't normally see goalkeepers scoring too often, do you?

Well, a goalkeeper in South Africa completely changed the game in 2016 with a ridiculous goal.

Lugo goalkeeper Juan Carlos Martin Corral scores a sensational goal from his own half!

Best of 2018?

Oscarine Masuluke went up in the sixth minute of stoppage time with his side Baroka FCon the verge of losing to Orlando Pirates.

He was thrown into the mix for a corner with the aim of making a nuisance of himself but when the ball was cleared and fell into his path, with his back to goal, he netted an utterly outrageous overhead kick that flew into the top corner.

He then thrust his hips with his teammates around the corner flag in the wild, but perfectly acceptable celebrations for a goal of this ilk.

It's safe to say that it is the greatest ever goal scored by a goalkeeper.

Another goalkeeper who is famed for scoring is Rogerio Ceni.

In a career spanning over 1250 appearances and 131 goals, former Sao Paulo goalkeeper Ceni called time on his career back in 2015 at the tender age of 42.
If you don't know who Ceni is, the former 'keeper is the highest scoring goalkeeper in football history, scoring 131 goals. The club organized a leaving due for Ceni, because let's be fair, he is a club legend and he marked the event by playing guitar on stage in front of thousands.
