Goalkeeper Linus Remahl got a free position from his own goal in this weekend’s boys’ Swedish round. The somewhat unusual event on a soccer field occurred after all players except Umeå FC’s goalkeeper ran off the field to drink water.
The referee started the game and started with only Linus Ramahl on the field. After he asked the referee if the game was really on an extra time, he took the run across almost the entire pitch and smashed the ball into the empty net.
– Everyone pointed to the goal and shouted, so I ran on, says Linus.
The goal meant 1-1 in the match against Brommapojkarna, the final score was 4-4.
