THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — With his team losing 2-1 in the dying seconds of its Eredivisie opener against PSV Eindhoven, ADO The Hague goalkeeper Martin Hansen decided to cause a bit of havoc in PSV's penalty area.
He did that and much more, scoring what is being hailed as a likely Dutch goal of the season.
Hansen was at a loss to explain his impressive back-heeled equalizer after Tuesday night's match.
He tells his club's ADO-TV that he was "just trying to get the ball toward the goal and see what happens."
Local media on Wednesday called it an early contender for goal of the season.
Diving forward, Hansen flicked out his heel and diverted a free kick from the right into the far corner of Jeroen Zoet's goal.
