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.
@@alexeiharp7676 The voids of the net look too small for a soccer ball to pass through though? Isn't that supposed to be the whole point of a net, to stop the ball from passing through it?!
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.
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.
Honestly, I think he saw it going wide, and then turned and saw it in the back of the net and didn't then believe what his eyes had seen, and accepted it.
I play goalie and sometimes can't tell if a shot was made or not. My college actually had this issue and refs were not sure if it was a goal or not. I would kinda expect someone who plays professionally to be able to know the goal bounds at all times but idk
easier way to see it: find number 8 on hoffenheim (he's just beneath the scorecard), and look at the part of the net that swings from behind his calves at 0:44 to the right of his feet at 0:46. good spot though!
Grounds men installing nets before the game: #1: Damn. This net accidentally snapped, we have to replace it #2: Don't worry mate, just leave it. What are the odds of the ball going through there? ...
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.
when i was in middle school we had a game. one player of our team couldnt play, so he was standing besides our goal. at the end a ball came inside the Goal Area, our Keeper somehow missed the Ball, our injured player stepped in and kicked the Ball away. The crazy thing about it neiter the ref nor the other Team nor the watchers, we played away, protestet.
Same thing happened in a game I played in during secondary school in 1992. The other teamed scored but the ball went through the gap in the net. My mate Neil Fisher who had earlier been subbed off and was sitting near the goal, shouted "it went wide ref" and the ref gave a goal kick. We lost 3 - 1 anyway so it didn't make a lot of difference.
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.
Felix Brych referee is an idiot, he is making so many big mistakes that could change the entire outcome of the games that I really wonder who in the holy hell gave him a referee license.
Seen this goal plenty of times before, but only now realising how the referee was in the perfect position to see that it wasn't a goal from where he's stood.
@@20FreeWill because it didnt go through the goal posts, the nets are there to stop that from happening but in the event it does happen its just a goal kick
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
Honestly if I was the scorer, I'd probably reacted in the same way. After all the first thing that comes to your mind in such a situation is not that there might be a hole in the net, but rather that I misjudged the situation.. He turned away before the ball went in as well, so he didn't even see the actual impact. And since the opposing team didn't complain at all, I think it's fair to say that it wasn't noticeable on the pitch.
That might have been the only hole in a goal-net in the league during that season and he managed to hit the EXACT damn spot... it's not even big or close to the post or something... what a legend! 🤣
George Carlin was right about a lot of things, but the most accurate ever was “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
I think teammates didn't notice it wasn't a goal from their line of sight. Only scorer did. Also it's strange how keeper could agree with that. It's so sick - in his shoes ball just can't get into.
It was in Bundesliga 2013/14. The end result was Hoffenheim - Leverkusen 1:2. If the goal hasn't counted, Leverkusen would had 2 Points less. Leverkusen was at the end fourth with 61 points and qualified for CL-Quali. Fifth was Wolfsburg with 60 points and Europe League. So this goal mades the decission between CL and EL for two teams.
Alan Hudson once scored a 'goal' for Chelsea against Ipswich where his shot went outside the post, hit the stanchion then rebounded straight back onto the pitch. The ref and linesman were both on the wrong side to see it missing the post, so could be forgiven. With VAR it would never have stood though.
@@milkatuc220 actually they're the one's telling him to act natural like it went in. He's like "it didn't go in" and they're like "shut up man it went in...it went in...IT WENT IN"
Moment like what? The result would be the same, VAR would just give a verification to what the referee already saw here. No goal. edit. Ok so I was wrong, the referee let that happen? In the cases like this it's good to have assisting technology. Cheers!
0:55 there appears just to be a gap between the side and back netting and after rolling along the side netting it hits the edge of the back netting and is guided in to goal. Look at the tags on the angle of the net - hints that the net is not continuous at the corner, but 'attached' loosely
+Michael Hayward A ref can change any decision as long as play hasn't been restarted. So in this case up until the kick off he could have reversed the decision but after the kick off it would have to stand
He has a bit of a smile on his face he knows it didn't go in but everyone else thinks it did. The score went up to 2-0 then back to 1-0 so I'm guessing the goal was disallowed? Tbf he should have told the ref i feel if for no other reason than the fact there's TV cameras everywhere and it's going to come out at some point.
No because the only reason Hoffenheim scored later on is because they switched to a ore aggressive formation when they were down by 2 or more. If they were just down by 1 they would have never done that and still lost 1-0.
@@Sharpshooter649 That doesn't add up lol. Then they would have been tied if not for the fake point which means they would have more time at the end to possibly win. I agree with Daniel.
@@chrisofstars Life is very Chaotic. Meaning small differences in initial conditions can yield widely diverging outcomes, rendering long-term prediction of its behavior impossible in general. So had that goal been not given then the game would have took a completely new turn and no one can know what would a scoreline end up like.
Oscar Cantor it isn't, notice the score went down to 0-1 after they play back the video. The referee probably didn't know and let them kick-off as if it was normal goal
Yeah, a true piece of sh*t. :) I still know how pretty much every Bundesliga fan hated him for that because he lied in every interview... 100% unsporting.
It's amazing the chance of where the hole in the net is and location of the ball at that precise moment, on that day. Chances are the net would have been replace for the next game.
its where it hit bud net was loose on the corner speed of the ball pushed the net outwards like a cracking whip ... the ball was perfectly centre of the square and the whipping of the net and the position of the ball forced the ball through one of the holes
as the ball hits the back of the side netting the netting is loose ...and as it hits with nowhere to go the netting bulges outwards and pulls against the ball forcing it through the hole which has to expand as the ball hits and the net pushes towards the ball ....this increases the speed....( its forced through )
