Fair play goal in Norway - Lillestrom vs Brann

[L-man]

I would put a description but the video pretty much gives you the story. Probably best to skip from 0.35-2.20 as well

Why did the goalie try and save it?

Surreal situation. As a Brann-fan I'm very proud with how the players handled the situation, even though our Polish keeper had some objections to it. I can see his point, it was a huge mistake by the Lillestrøm keeper Magnusson and therefore in his eyes it should've been a legitimate goal, but the pass back was obviously harder than necessary. Nevertheless, very happy with how it was resolved, and that Brann ended up winning 4-3 anyway.

I thought the keeper was unlucky with the backpass, it seemed to take a strange bounce, but the other keeper, what a fool, did he think that if he saved it the game would carry on as normal?

The same thing happened in an Ajax game a few years ago with Vertonghen.

Happened between Yeovil and Plymouth a few years ago as well. Yeovil scored a similar goal to the Ajax one above and they let Crawford run from the halfway line to tap it in. The Plymouth fans jokingly (I hope!) celebrated as if it was a last minute winner.

I've heard of it happening at Dover too, but the Ref disallowed it for moving ball, apparently.

Very strange situation, to be fair I can see the keepers point, why should he have another goal against him just cause the other keeper screwed up. He was well off his line.
