Sao Paulo's Geovane Scores After 5 Seconds


Sao Paulo's Geovane Scores After 5 Seconds At The Copa Sao Paulo
The Copa Sao Paulo, a Brazilian youth tournament, continues to provide us with incredible footage.
After seeing the ugly when Corinthians' Angelo suffered a seizure earlier in the week, and then chronicling the bad when a ref ruled out a perfect legal penalty when the ball sneaked through a hole in the net, we now have the good as competition served up an incredible goal after just five seconds of play.
Sao Paulo broke through the Confianca-SE backline straight from the kick-off.
Tiago Alves collected the ball from the centre and he immediately charged through the Confianca side. After gobbling up 20-yards and drawing out both of Confianca's centre-halves, Alves slipped a pass through the Geovane who cracked a superb first time shot into the top corner of the near post.

Hole in the net sees a referee chalk off a penalty


Hole in the net sees a referee chalk off a penalty (Gremio vs Marilia)
A Brazilian referee Antonio Zampieri Ulysses has courted criticism this week when the man in black chalked off a legal penalty after the ball travelled through a hole in the net.
The incident took place at the Sao Paulo youth tournament in the match between Gremio and Marilia. Gremio ran out 6-nil winners with midfielder Emerson netting a brilliant four goals, but Emerson should have had even better statistics to show off had his penalty not been wrongly disallowed.
Facing a spot-kick against the Marilia keeper, Emerson whacked a clinical strike into the top left hand corner. The ball clearly entered the goal inside the post, but his shot kept on travelling once it beat the keeper as it escaped the net through a hole.
Clearly not watching the play closely enough and seeing the ball end up behind the goal, referee Antonio Zampieri Ulysses covered himself in shame by chalking off the penalty.

All Boys vs Banfield - Violent end of match


All Boys beat Banfield with a violent end
All Boys beat Banfield 2-1 with goals by Favio Segovia, against, and Mauro Matos. Gabriel Mendez scored for the south team.
With this win the team of Jose Romero gets 25 units in Apertura championship, establishing itself as one of the revelations of the season, to achieve the goal set at the start of the championship.
But in a move late in the game, Hugo Barrientos nudged no accidental Ruben Ramirez who fell to the floor, but the incident was not warned by the referee.
Barely it was heard the final whistle, Ramirez, with his face visibly bloody, wanted to beat his assailant, but he was stopped by his teammates.

Goal by Goalkeeper - Airton


The Brazilian Under-17 semi-final was lit up by a freak goal scoring by Juventude keeper Airton after 38 minutes.
After collecting the ball in his box, Ayrton undertook a standard up-and-under to restart the play. Accordingly the 16-year-old shotstopper launched a punt upfield without any great ambitions of creating a goalscoring opportunity from his long booted kick.
That was until Caxias keeper Bernardo had a brainfreeze following a miscommunication with his own centre-half. Instead of ordering his defender to deal with the high ball, no instructions were passed between the keeper and his so-called protector. That meant that when the defender opted to chicken out of heading the ball clear, keeper Bernardo was caught in no-mans-land with respect to the bounce.

Bolivian president knees football opponent in groin


Bolivian president, Evo Morales, knees La Paz town hall player, Daniel Cartagena, in the groin during a football match.
A knee to the groin may be more Vinnie Jones than Machiavelli, but it was no less effective for Evo Morales in asserting his presidential authority.
With one deft movement, Bolivia's combative leader felled an opponent in a football match against a team of political rivals. The receiving player crumpled in agony holding, as local media put it, his "testicular zone".
The incident, during a match on Sunday to inaugurate a renovated stadium in the capital La Paz, was captured on video and last night aired on local TV stations.
