VIDEO: Vietnamese goalkeeper heads in own goal moments after saving penalty

Tips spot kick round the post before making a rather novel hash of the resulting corner.

Watch the moment a Vietnamese goalkeeper heads in an own goal just moments after saving a penalty in an Asian Champions League match.

Binh Duong ‘keeper Bùi Tấn Trường pulled out a splendid stop to turn FC Tokyo’s penalty round the post for a corner – but his joy was short-lived.

The resulting corner swings inwards, luring him off his line for what should have been a relatively straightforward catch.

Perhaps dwelling on his show-stopping penalty save just seconds before, he badly misjudges the flight of the ball and it cannons in off his head.

FC Tokyo ultimately triumphed 3-1, and if they go on to win the tournament then they will surely hold a special place in their history for the Vietnamese goalkeeper who headed in an own goal.
