Well, that’s hilarious. Seriously, that ball took a hop worse than RBNY’s Danny Cepero‘s, so I really think we can stop focusing on this “once in a lifetime” thing. Poor keeper, though.

In what is being called the “fastest goal in a professional soccer match,” Saudi striker Nawaf Al Abed scored 2 seconds into the match when he caught the goalkeeper off his line. Thankfully, the goal played little role in the final score (save for totally deflating the team who conceded it) as Nawaf and his team ended up winning the game, 4-0.

From the YouTube description: “Straight from the kickoff, Al Abed spotted the Al Shoalah goalkeeper off his line and that was all the invitation needed for the striker to try his luck from the halfway line. With power and accuracy, Al Abed launched a shot goalwards which flew of the keepers head and into the net ”

That, kids, is why goalkeepers must ALWAYS be paying attention. ALWAYS.

Smith http://ihatejonconway.com/?p=86 It was a great debut by RBNY goalkeeper Danny Cepero and his strong handling of the match surely earned him the respect of all the 18K+ in attendance last night…then he scored THIS goal


Best debut in MLS history? No question. God Bless Danny Cepero. We still have a shot at the playoffs.

Update: Red Bulls goalkeeper Danny Cepero scored from 80 yards! My life is complete.

Update: In the Corner Pub celebrating a great 3-1 NY win. Good to see so many people out to celebrate the season. The fan event before Halloween should be fun too.
