Hamburg goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes likely found himself contemplating his life choices as he unexpectedly diverted what seemed like a routine clearance into his own net during the Hamburg Derby against St Pauli. Attempting to clear a pass from Guilherme Ramos, Fernandes somehow skewed the ball into the top corner, gifting St Pauli the lead.
It was almost impressive how Fernandes managed such a feat, given he was practically standing on his own goal line during the clearance attempt. While the blame squarely fell on the goalkeeper, the football community didn’t solely fault him for the mishap.
One fan highlighted the atrocious pass from the defender, emphasizing the ball’s bobble before Fernandes kicked it, attributing more blame to the defender than the keeper.
Another comment pointed out the defender’s poor pass, acknowledging the pressure on the goalkeeper and the ball’s bounce before the clearance.
There was a consensus among some fans that the defender’s pass also warranted discussion, and a few even mentioned the uneven ground affecting the ball’s bounce and the defender’s careless pass.
While football fans fiercely debated who bore more responsibility, some found ironic beauty in the embarrassing goal. One entertained fan labeled it possibly the worst own goal in global football, dubbing it a true team effort.
Another simply urged every football fan to witness the moment. Fortunately for the goalkeeper, Hamburg eventually rallied and secured a 2-2 draw after the blunder.
One of the greatest own goals you’ll ever see has just been scored in the St Pauli v HSV game.
