Incredible scenes! Stefan Kiessling scores a crazy ghost goal

Somebody should have gone to specsavers.

WE CAN’T REMEMBER the last time we’ve seen something as mad as this.

Bayer Leverkusen are away to Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga tonight and, having taken the lead through Sidney Sam on 26 minutes, won a corner midway through the second half.

German international Stefan Kiessling gets to the front post and makes decent contact with a header. It’s not quite accurate enough though and goes just outside the post.

All pretty normal so far…

Upon hitting the sidenetting, however, the ball somehow makes its way through a small hole and ends up in the back of the net. The oblivious referee awards the goal and Kiessling celebrates rather sheepishly.

Hoffenheim then missed a penalty before pulling one back with two minutes to play but that ghost goal has turned out to be the winner.

Crazy stuff.

    Jes*s lads I really hope none of you or your families suffer from depression or are affected by suicide, if thats the way you go on you won’t be getting much help from around you.
    Regardless of money or status depression will get you and many many incredibly successful people have committed suicide when the darkness gets too much.
    Not a time nor a place for idiot comments like above.

    The very first comment I have ever agreed with you on.

    As Rio found out…money can only go so far.Felt heart broken for him ans his kids.

    So be happy if you are lucky enough to have your close loved ones healthy and happy.

    Mental health has an unhealthy stigma attached to it. If you cannot see it…it does not exist…

    Now or never.

    Because having money solves all…doesn’t it?

    Rich have no problems…go see a Doc. All solved.

    Shocking.

    What is a little problem to someone maybe a big one to some one else. No one knows the inner workings of another ones mind.

    He didn’t even get it right. Having spent a lot of time hating him I’m actually starting to feel sorry for him. Adebayor that is, not this other idiot.
