Last weekend was historic for all of European football. Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic managed to score a goal in the first minute. We decided to remember the most famous goalkeepers-scorers.
Bosnian goalkeeper for Stoke City Asmir Begovic scored against Southampton in the 12th second of the match. Begovic cleared the ball from his own goal, and the ball flew over Artur Boruc and ended up in the net. This was a good reason to remember prominent representatives a separate football caste - goalkeepers-scorers. These guys are cramped in the cages of their own goal. Therefore, they regularly terrorize fellow opponents. And they become famous for their goals, and not at all for being quality, reliable goalkeepers.
Founders of the genre
Rene Higuita And Jorge Campos. Latin Americans who stood at the origins of active goalkeeper bombing. The whole world knows Higuita thanks to the “scorpion strike”. Campos regularly ran on the field and asked FIFA to grant him the status of "goalkeeper-goalkeeper". He also surprised everyone with his parrot-colored uniform. Between them, these reckless goalkeepers-adventurers scored about eighty goals in official matches. Unfortunately, only a small part of them is available on the Internet. At that time, not every match between the Colombian and Mexican championships was recorded on video. But you can still get an idea of the adventures of Rene and Jorge.
The best of the best
Rogerio Ceni And Jose Luis Chilavert. Legendary goalkeepers who received this status not at all because of their outstanding game in the “frame”. These are the best sniper goalkeepers in the history of world football. Chilavert began to upset his colleagues back in the eighties. In an interview, he admitted that since childhood he had a tight punch. His father always advised him to take advantage of this. Chilavert listened to his parent, and away we go. The Paraguayan began taking free kicks and penalties. The partners objected at first, but then reconciled. Playing for Velez Sarsfield, Chila scored 48 goals. In total, he scored 62 times during his career, eight times in national team matches. But he failed to score at the World Championships.
Chilavert has long been the most prolific goalkeeper on the planet. But the Brazilian Rogerio Ceni eventually surpassed him. Now 40-year-old Rogerio has 113 goals. And he does not intend to stop at this figure! Ceni spent his entire career in only one club - Sao Paulo. And it is not for nothing that it is considered its symbol. One day he set a goal for himself - to become the best sniper with gloves. And he achieved it. The summer before last, Seni made the 100th goal of his career. Meticulous statisticians began to shout: he scored some of the goals in unofficial friendly matches. But it's not that important. The fights took place not on the beaches of Copacabana, but on normal fields. They were held according to the rules of football, spectators, journalists and referees were present. So the complaints are inappropriate.
Little-known goalscorers
Bulgarian Dimitar Ivankov recently completed his career. For a long time he defended the colors of Levski. He has 37 goals from free kicks and penalties. This is the sixth result in the world. Ivankov played more than 50 matches for the Bulgarian national team, but was unable to score. Yugoslav Dragan Pantelic ended his career in the mid-80s. He has 22 goals, almost all from penalties. He also excelled in matches for the national team. Only ardent fans of Latin American football know who they are Johnny Vegas And Alvaro Alfaro. Meanwhile, these guys are in the top ten best goalkeepers-snipers throughout history. But they scored in the not very strong championships of Peru and El Salvador.
Unlucky Butt
Hans-Jörg Butt retired last year. He became a World Cup winner and played in the Champions League final. And he scored 33 goals in his career. Hans-Jörg took penalties for Oldenburg, Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen. He once distinguished himself as a member of Bayern. Once Butt scored and missed within a few seconds of each other. Every self-respecting Youtube user has seen this fragment of the Schalke - Bayer match.
Butt has already retired from football, but the Nigerian Vincent Enyama continues to defend his own goal and score against others. This is the best scorer among active goalkeepers.
Schmeichel, Lehmann and others
Many famous goalkeepers have scored goals to their credit. On account Peter Schmeichel- 11 goals for clubs and the Danish national team. Many people remember his goal for Manchester United against Rotor Volgograd in 1995. At the end of the match at Old Trafford, with the score 1:2, Peter went into the penalty area and headed the ball into his colleague’s goal after a corner. The meeting ended with a score of 2:2, and the team advanced to the next stage of the UEFA Cup. Russian team. By the way, many years later Oleg Veretennikov said: “The ball actually flew into the goal from Andy Cole’s foot.” But video replays show: the author of the goal is Schmeichel.
Edwin van der Sar He played excellently with his feet and could certainly take set pieces. But they didn't trust him. Although, being the goalkeeper of Ajax, Edwin still scored.
There is taking someone else's goal in the asset and Jens Lehmann. He distinguished himself in the match against Schalke while playing for Borussia Dortmund. Such an achievement was achieved Frank Rost. Their colleague and compatriot Oliver Kahn I also dreamed of scoring. But the dream did not come true. In 2002, Oliver took a penalty in a Bundesliga match with Energie and hit the post. And one day Kahn went into someone else’s penalty area to take a corner and sent the ball into the opponents’ goal... with his hands.
Unfading Andreas Palop still remains in football. The 40-year-old Spaniard wipes his underpants on the Bayer bench and remembers his finest hour in Donetsk. In 2007, Palop scored against Shakhtar in a UEFA Cup match. His Sevilla made it to the next round and then won the tournament.
Sinan Bolat. You probably wouldn't remember this name if it weren't for his goal in the Champions League in 2009. The Turkish goalkeeper saved a draw for Standard in the match with AZ and vigorously celebrated his success.
Paul Robinson distinguished himself in two teams - Leeds and Tottenham. He scored both from his own penalty area and when he came to someone else's goal for a set piece. There are goals in track record other famous goalkeepers. Shilton, Lama, Bosnich, Grobelaar, van der Gouw, Bonano, Ricardo, Friedel. The list goes on.
Bombardiers Dikan and Pletikosa
There are also goalkeepers in the post-Soviet space who have scored goals. Spartak player's assets Andrey Dikan- 14 balls. He distinguished himself as the goalkeeper of Avangard, SKA-Energia and Kuban, and did this not only from the penalty spot, but also from the game. In “Hajduk” from Split, at times, he performed kicks from the point Stipe Pletikosa. However, neither Shakhtar, nor Spartak, nor Rostov trusted the Croat with such an important task. Many people remember the goalkeeper Andrey Novosadov. He was even called up to the Russian national team. By the way, this is the only goalkeeper who scored in the elite championship of our country. In 2001, he played for Torpedo-ZIL and upset his counterparts from Fakel. There are two goals in the post-match penalty shootout for the old-timer of Dynamo Kyiv. Alexander Shovkovsky. One of them brought the team the Ukrainian Super Cup. One of the best hit someone else's goal Russian goalkeepers 90s Alexander Filimonov, Estonian Englishman Mart Poom, two-time champion Russia Yuri Zhevnov. The current Torpedo goalkeeper can boast of a goal-to-goal goal in a FNL match. Andrey Budakov.
Top ten best goalkeepers in history:
1. Rogerio Ceni (Brazil) - 113 goals.
2. Jose Luis Chilavert (Paraguay) - 62 goals.
3. Rene Higuita (Colombia) - 41 goals.
4.Johnny Vegas (Peru) - 39 goals.
5. Jorge Campos (Mexico) - 38 goals.
6. Dimitar Ivankov (Bulgaria) - 37 goals.
7. Hans-Jorg Butt (Germany) - 33 goals.
8. Alvaro Alfaro (El Salvador) - 31 goals.
9. Dragan Pantelic (Yugoslavia) - 22 goals.
P.S. Many, but not everyone, are familiar with the fact that in the debut match for Dynamo Moscow, the great Lev Yashin missed from his colleague in the role. This happened in the spring of 1950 in the Caucasus in a sparring match with Traktor from Stalingrad.
P.P.S. In the once popular Soviet film "Goalkeeper", which is based on the story by Lev Kassil, there is a Hollywood pathetic ending: "goalkeeper of the republic" Anton Kandidov on last minute match of the USSR national team with foreign team takes the penalty, then throws the ball in his direction, runs and scores the decisive goal.
Maxim Kiryazov
The young guy Rogerio Ceni seemed destined to become a striker. Tall, athletic, with powerful blow and excellent vision of the field, he would decorate the attack line of any team in the country. But the cards were so stacked that the boy, who was taking his first steps in football, made a firm decision to become a goalkeeper.
As a result, it was this decision that brought him worldwide fame, inscribing the name of Rogerio in the history of football in golden letters. It is unlikely that anyone will be able to even come close to his mind-blowing record of 131 goals in a career spanning more than 20 years anytime soon.
If you thought that we were talking about missed goals, as is usually the case with goalkeepers, you are deeply mistaken. Rogerio Ceni is the best scorer among goalkeepers in the entire history of football, scoring more goals against opponents than many strikers achieve - 131 goals.
Seni: the beginning
This legend began with the fact that on January 22, 1973, in the small Brazilian town of Pato Branco, a boy was born, whom his parents named Rogerio Muque Ceni.
The boy grew up and, like almost any Brazilian boy, fell more and more in love with football. From the age of 10–11, it became clear that the passion for the most popular game in the world would not just go away, and Rogerio’s abilities could well allow him to become a professional football player.
For the first time he took to the field in an official match as part of the modest Sinop team from the city of the same name. But at that time he was not a professional football player, being considered a junior. Then, in 1987, the boy was only 15 years old.
In 1990, 17-year-old goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni attracted the attention of the famous Sao Paulo club, of which he soon became a part. His scoring abilities initially manifested themselves exclusively in training, where, knowing about his skills, he often took part in informal competitions that football players organized among themselves.
During the first six years, he was initially the team's third goalkeeper, soon becoming the second, occasionally appearing on the field if the main goalkeeper was injured. For the first time on the field in starting lineup professional club Seni was released on June 25, 1995, more than 22 years ago. His team played with the Tenerife club in a friendly tournament. That game ended in a victory for Sao Paulo with a score of 4:1. That same year, Seni took to the court several more times, invariably bringing good luck to his partners.
Soon the coach began to notice that the goalkeeper had an amazing shot and was able to score in training not only from the 11-meter mark, but also from outside the penalty area, from set pieces. From that moment on, the goalkeeper began to hone this skill purposefully. When his strikes reached a certain level, the coach decided to test them in an official match. It turned out well. From then on it went on and on.
Most highlights speeches
In a Copa Libertadores match in June 2005 against the Mexican team Tigres, Ceni almost scored a hat-trick. Rogerio twice managed to send the ball into the net from free kicks, but his shot from the penalty spot was deflected by the crossbar.
On July 28, 2005, in a match against Atlético Paranaense, he played his 618th match in a São Paulo shirt, becoming the record holder for the most appearances for the club. In connection with this event, they sewed him a special game jersey with the number “618” on the back.
Lightning-fast reaction, confident and reliable play in the goal frame at the FIFA Club World Cup tournament (December 2005, Japan) received the highest ratings from specialists, the press, and fans. In the semi-final of the tournament against Al-Ittihad, he scored winning goal from the penalty spot, and a little earlier he superbly executed a free kick that almost flew into the goal. In the final of the tournament, Sao Paulo defeated English Liverpool with a score of 1-0, Ceni was recognized as the player of the final and received the golden ball for the best player of the tournament.
Rogerio-Ceni_62005 turned out to be the most productive year for Rogerio Ceni - he managed to hit the opponents' goal 21 times, which made him top scorer native club. Any striker would be proud of this figure!
After the 2005 triumph, Sao Paulo dominated the Brazilian championship for 3 years, becoming champions three times in a row in 2006, 2007 and 2008. The team has established itself as a flagship of progress and stability in a rather chaotic national championship. Sao Paulo became the only Brazilian club to win the national championship three years in a row. Accordingly, Rogerio, a rare example of loyalty to his club in the Brazilian top division (Serie A), lifted all these trophies.
On 25 July 2006, he scored a penalty against Chivas of Mexico, becoming Sao Paulo's most capped Copa Libertadores player in the club's history.
On August 21, 2006, Rogerio scored a double in a match against the leader Brazilian football Cruzeiro, scoring his 41st goal from a free kick and 23rd from a penalty. Ceni not only converted a penalty and a free kick, but also deflected an 11-meter kick into his own goal, thanks to which his team managed to draw 2-2. The goalkeeper who scored a double in the game! Think about this every time your team's striker is in the penalty area shooting at sparrows. With two goals, he surpassed the 62 goals of legendary Paraguayan goalkeeper José Luis Chilavert. The brace against Cruzeiro was the fourth of his career, with his previous two goals in the same match coming against Internacional Limeira (1999), Figueirense (2004) and Tigres (2005).
"As a goalkeeper, I scored more than 63 goals. I never imagined that I could ever reach this mark. This will go down in history and I am very happy for my club," Rogerio Ceni said after the match. Continuing, the Brazilian goalkeeper-scorer paid tribute to his mentor, one of best trainers Brazil's Murisi Ramalho, who coached the team when Rogerio first began to excel with his club's first team in 1997; "What makes me especially happy is that I scored the 63rd goal when Murisi was in charge of the team. He was the first coach who entrusted me with the execution free kicks. I'm happy that working with him turned me into the goalkeeper with the most goals in history."
Black streak in the career
In the life of every great football player there is a black streak in his career. Football fans are well aware of the trick dubbed “Cantona kung fu”, Zidane’s header, Maradona’s “hand of God”... For Rogerio, such a moment came in 2001, when he was suspended from playing for 29 days by club president Paulo Amarala after accusations of producing forged documents for a transfer to London Arsenal as an argument for increasing the football player's salary. This unpleasant situation almost ended with Rogerio's transfer to another titled Brazilian club Cruzeiro. Only the departure of Amaral, who was replaced by the new club president Marcelo Portugal Gouvea, allowed Ceni to renew his contract with Tricolor (the nickname of the São Paulo club). “I still have a feeling of resentment about the way Amaral treated me,” Rogerio said recently, “... I would tell the whole story if I could, but it’s better for me to remain silent.”
Out of spite for records
Nobody remembers Rogerio Ceni’s first goal, including the footballer himself, it was so long ago. But the Internet is filled with collections of it best blows, the number of which would be the envy of most attackers and scoring midfielders.
In total, Senya’s collection contains several records included in the famous Guinness Book of Records. Naturally, he is the most “scoring” goalkeeper in the history of football. He has, as we already mentioned, 131 goals scored from penalties and free kicks. His closest competitor, the no less legendary Paraguayan goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert, who retired long ago, has “only” 66 goals.
In addition, Seni is in the Book of Records as a person who spent greatest number matches in the form of one football club, as well as the largest number of matches in the team as captain. In total, during his career with Sao Paulo and the Brazilian national team, Ceni appeared on the pitch in 1,256 games. And just over a year ago, Rogerio Ceni broke Welshman Ryan Giggs' record for the most wins for one club, once again writing his name in history.
Usually people who set such unusual records do not stand out in any way outstanding in relation to their direct responsibilities. But this does not apply to Rogerio Ceni, who, in addition to his scoring abilities, was also great goalkeeper. If he has a sports glory room, and such a person must have one, then all the trophies that he can win in his career are stored in it Brazilian footballer, not playing in European teams.
These include the Brazilian Championships, the Libertadores Cups, and the South American Cups. Rogerio Ceni was even a world champion as part of the Brazilian national team in 2002, when the World Cup was held in Japan and South Korea. In addition, in 2005 Rogerio Ceni became the world champion at the club level. Then his team met in the final meeting with the English Liverpool, who had previously won the Champions League. Rogerio Ceni kept his goal intact in the decisive meeting with the most titled club in England. “Sao Paulo” then won with a score of 1:0, and the goalkeeper was recognized not only best player final meeting, but also the most useful football player of the entire tournament.
Forwards are the envy of
Everyone probably understands that 131 goals against the opponent is a lot if you are a goalkeeper. But how good is this for, say, a striker?
It's easy to compare. The most interesting way to do this would be to take as a basis the list of the best domestic scorers of all time, which is headed by Zenit St. Petersburg striker Alexander Kerzhakov. He scored 224 goals, which he scored against opponents in all official tournaments in which his club or national team took part.
And at the end of last year, goalkeeper-scorer Rogerio Ceni retired. On the night of December 6-7, the legendary goalkeeper officially said goodbye to football. In such cases, they say about attackers “hung up their boots”; goalkeepers “hang up” their gloves. In this case, both will hang on Senya’s wall of honor.
And another piece of news. Before the upcoming anniversary edition of the America's Cup 2016 coaching staff The Brazilian national team decided to undergo changes. For example, the legendary goalkeeper of Sao Paulo and the Brazilian national team, Rogerio Ceni, became the new assistant to head coach Carlos Dunga.
Goalkeepers and scorers, although not a new topic, are quite interesting. I’ll say right away that you can’t tell about everyone - the history of football knows about a dozen goalkeepers who scored more than 20 goals. But many of them played in rather exotic championships. Peru, El Salvador, Azerbaijan, Vietnam.
I won’t tell you about those who, like Peter Schmeichel, started their career as a field player and scored while playing on the field.
So, the most famous
Football goalkeepers - scorers
Dragan Pantelejic
- Country: Yugoslavia.
- Career years: 1971-1985.
- Number of goals: 26.
Panteleich can safely be called a pioneer among goalkeepers-scorers, if not in the world, then in Europe for sure. If Lev Yashin made a revolution in the art of goalkeeping, starting to play not only within the goalkeeper’s area, but throughout the entire penalty area, then what can we say about a goalkeeper who regularly scores goals?
Pantelejic played in the strong Yugoslav championship, although for the not-so-famous club Radnicki from Niš, spent two seasons in Bordeaux and appeared on the field more than 20 times as part of the Yugoslav national team. He scored in all these teams - he scored 25 penalties and scored once from a free kick.
Hans-Jörg Butt
- Country: Germany.
- Years of career: 1994-2012.
- Number of goals: 29.
This funny thing happened to German goalkeeper- scorer Hans-Jörg Butt.
This goalkeeper played for Hamburg, Bayer 04, Bayern - the list is quite impressive, you will agree. He scored all his goals from penalties, but a couple of facts are still worth noting.
In the 1999-2000 season, Butt became Hamburg's third top scorer with nine goals. He also scored in the Champions League, and exclusively against Juventus. Gianluigi Buffon himself suffered twice from his scoring strikes.
Jorge Campos
- Country: Mexico.
- Years of career: 1988-2002.
- Number of goals: 38.
A unique case in the history of world football - a goalkeeper 168 (!!!) centimeters tall played 130 matches for the national team. Moreover, Campos was the main goalkeeper of the Mexican national team at the 1994 and 1998 World Championships.
He is also remembered for his play outside the penalty area, often with a rather adventurous and vibrant form, which he himself developed.
He scored his 38 goals from both penalties and free throws. By the way, he failed to distinguish himself for the national team.
Dimitar Ivankov
- Country: Bulgaria.
- Years of career: 1995-2011.
- Number of goals: 42.
Perhaps the least known goalkeeper on this list. But he - three-time champion Bulgaria and has more than fifty matches for the national team of this country.
He scored all his goals from the penalty spot, but he became famous after the 2008 Turkish Cup final. Kayserispor, for which Ivankov played, played against Genclerbirligi. 120 minutes of regular and extra time ended with the score 0:0.
And the penalty shootout was won by Kayserispor with a score of 11:10, and in this series the opponents struck a total of 28 shots! Ivankov saved four penalties and scored two!
What doesn't happen in football?
Rene Higuita
- Country: Colombia.
- Years of career: 1985-2010.
- Number of goals: 44.
25 years of performing is, of course, cool. But there is only one in the world. An absolutely crazy game, a corresponding nickname - “El Loco” (The Crazy Man), participation in the guerrilla movement, connections with the drug mafia, imprisonment - this is not a complete list of the adventures of the Colombian goalkeeper.
As for football itself, Higuita will always be remembered for three things - the scorpion kick at Wembley, Roger Milla's "gift" at the 1990 World Cup, which cost the Colombians a place in the quarter-finals and goals scored, which Higuita scored from free kicks and penalties.
Jose Luis Chilavert
- Country: Paraguay.
- Career years: 1983-2005.
- Number of goals: 62.
The goalkeeper is a rock, the goalkeeper is a lump, I just want to call him “Chilavertishche”. In addition to his scoring qualities, Chilavert was also remembered for his excellent performance of his direct duties.
He is the only one in this ranking who belongs to the elite of the world goalkeeper corps - Chilavert ranks sixth (and first among non-Europeans) in the list of the best goalkeepers of the 20th century. Only Dino Zoff, Sepp Meier and are ahead of him.
As for goals scored, Chilavert is the holder of a number of records - he scored the most of any goalkeeper for the national team - 8 goals, he is the only goalkeeper in the world to score a hat-trick, and, finally, Chilavert has a free kick goal to his credit, scored from their own half of the field.
Just like that.
Rogerio Ceni
- Country: Brazil.
- Years of career: 1992-2015.
- Number of goals: 135.
Showed it too great game in goal, but somehow things didn’t work out for him with the national team - he only took to the field 17 times as part of the Brazilian national team. And although he has gold medal World champion in 2002, he spent the championship on the bench as the third goalkeeper.
But Ceni is a legend of Sao Paulo; he spent his entire career at this club, playing more than 1,200 matches.
Well, the best thing about scoring abilities is the numbers - he is the only goalkeeper in the world who has scored more than a hundred goals.
Last weekend was historic for all of European football. Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic managed to score a goal in the first minute. We decided to remember the most famous goalkeepers-scorers.
Bosnian Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic scored against Southampton in the 12th second of the match. Begovic cleared the ball from his own goal, and the ball flew over Artur Boruc and ended up in the net. This was a good reason to remember the brightest representatives of a separate football caste - goalkeepers-scorers. These guys are cramped in the cages of their own goal. Therefore, they regularly terrorize fellow opponents. And they become famous for their goals, and not at all for being quality, reliable goalkeepers.

The best of the best
Rogerio Ceni and José Luis Chilavert. Legendary goalkeepers who received this status not at all because of their outstanding game in the “frame”.

So the complaints are inappropriate.
Little-known goalscorers
Bulgarian Dimitar Ivankov recently retired. For a long time he defended the colors of Levski. He has 37 goals from free kicks and penalties. This is the sixth result in the world. Ivankov played more than 50 matches for the Bulgarian national team, but was unable to score. Yugoslav Dragan Pantelic ended his career in the mid-80s. He has 22 goals, almost all from penalties. He also excelled in matches for the national team. Only ardent fans of Latin American football know who Johnny Vegas and Alvaro Alfaro are. Meanwhile, these guys are among the top ten goalkeeper-snipers in history. But they scored in the not very strong championships of Peru and El Salvador.
Top ten best goalkeepers in history:
1. Rogerio Ceni (Brazil) – 113 goals.
2. Jose Luis Chilavert (Paraguay) – 62 goals.
3. Rene Higuita (Colombia) – 41 goals.
4.Johnny Vegas (Peru) – 39 goals.

8. Alvaro Alfaro (El Salvador) – 31 goals.
9. Dragan Pantelic (Yugoslavia) – 22 goals.
10. Vincent Enyama (Nigeria) – 21 goals.
P.S. Many, but not everyone, are familiar with the fact that in the debut match for Dynamo Moscow, the great Lev Yashin missed from his colleague in the role. This happened in the spring of 1950 in the Caucasus in a sparring match with Traktor from Stalingrad.
P.P.S. In the once popular Soviet film “Goalkeeper”, which was based on the story by Lev Kassil, there is a Hollywood pretentious ending: the “goalkeeper of the republic” Anton Kandidov, in the last minute of the match between the USSR national team and a foreign team, takes a penalty, then throws the ball in his direction, runs and scores the decisive goal.
Palop, Egyptian and Benevento rescuer. Important goals goalkeepers in football
The Benevento goalkeeper scored against Milan and brought his team the first point in Serie A. We remember other valuable goals from the goalkeepers from the game.
Alberto Brignoli
Serie A newcomer Benevento set an anti-record, losing all 14 matches from the start of the championship. In the home match with Milan, where Gennaro Gattuso made his debut as head coach, there was supposed to be a 15th defeat. After 90 minutes of play, the hosts were losing with a score of 1:2, but in the end a football miracle happened. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, goalkeeper Brignoli, on loan from Juventus, ran into the visitors' penalty area to take a free kick and hit Gianluigi Donnarumma's goal with a diving header. Benevento finally managed to score their first point, and Brignoli spoiled Gattuso's premiere.
“It’s difficult to describe in words,” a happy Brignoli shared his emotions after the match. “I just hoped for the best.” In the last seconds of the meeting, with the score 1:2, we had nothing to lose, so we went into the penalty area, closed our eyes and jumped. This turned out to be more of a goalkeeper’s jump than a striker’s!”
Video of Alberto Brignoli's goal YouTube.
Best option when there are no options. What does the appointment of Gennaro Gattuso mean?
Milan took a long time to decide to change the coach. As a result, the choice surprised many.
Jimmy Glass
The English goalkeeper is a Carlisle United legend. Even though he played for this club for only a season on loan and played only three matches. In 1999, Carlisle were on the verge of relegation from the fourth division. IN final round Glass's team only needed a victory, but by the 90th minute the score was 1:1. Jimmy decided to take the corner, which ended in his goal. The goalkeeper succeeded in finishing. That day, all of Carlisle went crazy and blessed Glas.
The Paraguayan is the second goalkeeper in history in terms of the number of goals scored and the only author of a hat-trick. Naturally, this selection could not do without Chilavert. We chose his goal against Colombia in the away match of the 2002 World Cup qualifying round. Most of his goals are for national team Chilavert scored from the penalty spot, but in Colombia he made a great free kick at the end with the score 1:0 in favor of his team. Removed questions about the outcome of the game. IN summary table Paraguay was just three points ahead of Colombia, which did not make it to the final stage.
Video of Jose Luis Chilavert's goal YouTube.
Goalkeeper-scorer
On July 27, 1965, one of the best goalkeepers of the 1990s, goalkeeper-scorer and charismatic personality, Chilavert, was born.
Essam El Hadary
Today, the 44-year-old goalkeeper of the Egyptian national team is thinking about how he will play against the Russian national team at the World Cup. And in 2002, he became one of the heroes of the CAF Super Cup game. In the match between the Egyptian Al-Ahly and Kaizer Chiefs from South Africa, a lot was decided by El-Hadary's accurate strike with the score 2:1. The goalkeeper's goal turned out to be funny.

The confrontation between Sevilla and Shakhtar in the 1/8 finals of the UEFA Cup of the 2006/07 season had a crazy outcome thanks to the Spanish goalkeeper Palop. The first game in Seville ended with a score of 2:2, and in return match in Donetsk, Mircea Lucescu's team was very close to success. The Pitmen were leading 2:1, but in the 90+4th minute the guests earned a corner. Palop came to serve and saved Sevilla from defeat with a header. In added time, the Spaniards scored a third goal and won. As a result, Sevilla won the UEFA Cup for the second year in a row.

Sinan Bolat
On group stage In the 2009/10 Champions League season, the Belgian Standard and the Dutch AZ fought in the final round for a ticket to the Europa League.

In the 5th added minute, when there was nothing left to lose, the Turkish goalkeeper of Standard Bolat came into the AZ penalty area. A cross from a free kick, a successful play ahead - and Sinan becomes the hero of Liege!

This is the case when a goal scored is more important for a player than for the team. The most successful goalkeeper in the history of football, with 132 successful shots, scored his 100th goal at the age of 38. In March 2011, in the Sao Paulo state championship match, he scored a great free kick against Corinthians with the score 1:1. The Sao Paulo goalkeeper's goal was not only an anniversary, but also a victory. In general, he scored many important goals during his “golden” seasons. He won the championship three times with Sao Paulo and the Copa Libertadores.

Moises Muñoz
In May 2013, “America” and “Cruz Azul” competed in the fight for gold medals in the Mexican championship. The first game of the two-game confrontation was won by Cruz Azul with a score of 1:0. In the return match, the game, which suited Cruz Azul, remained a draw until the 90th minute, but “America” found an unexpected sniper hero. Goalkeeper Moises Muñoz went to the opponent's goal for a set piece and managed to head it in, despite the fact that there were three defenders next to him. A penalty shootout was called, which América won thanks to Muñoz.

Eloy Casals
Spanish goalkeeper Casals helped Santa Coloma achieve a historic achievement. In the summer of 2014, a representative of Andorra managed to overcome one stage of the European Cup for the first time. This happened in the first round of the Champions League qualifying round. “Santa Coloma” faced the Armenian “Banants” as their opponents. The Andorrans won at home with a score of 1:0, and lost away - 1:3. Casals decided to help his forwards and went into someone else's penalty area. After a pass from the center circle and a struggle between the field players, the ball bounced to the goalkeeper, who sent it into the net with his second touch.
Martin Hansen
Perhaps the most beautiful goal is not scored by a goalkeeper from a penalty kick or a direct free kick. Its author was the Dane Martin Hansen. In the home match of the Dutch championship with PSV, with the score 1:2, the ADO Den Haaga goalkeeper ran to serve a free kick. By that time it was already the 95th minute of the game. The pass was awkward to hit, but Hansen contrived to hit it with his heel while falling. “The first number” saved the team from defeat and got into all sorts of charts with his goal.
