"It's a crazy thing. I picked up the ball, and I looked at the keeper for just a second. I saw he was out, took a chance and it brought the goal. When I tried, I saw how the ball went, and I said to myself that if he didn't take it, it was a goal. He's a goalkeeper I know, since we were in selection together, " He said while describing his goal.
