🎥 Michael, former Fla man in ABSURD moment in promotion clash Get ready for a play that borders on the UNBELIEVABLE. Al Diriyah and Al-Ula faced off this Saturday (23), in a one-off match, to decide the third and final team promoted to the top flight of the Saudi league next season. And Al Diriyah came out on top, winning 2-1 in extra time.
But that victory had one “detail”: one of the most bizarre own goals in history. Al-Ula were leading 1-0 until the 20th minute of the second half. Laborde had the chance to equalize from the penalty spot, but saw goalkeeper Al Owais save it with his left foot.
What a save. But the ball bounced back into the box, and Michael, formerly of Flamengo, tried to clear the danger. The problem is that he blasted the ball straight at Al Hussain, his own teammate, who ended up scoring an OWN GOAL!
To the despair of Micha and the rest of the Al-Ula players, a team that also features defensive midfielder Danilo Barbosa, formerly of Botafogo. Check out today’s bizarre moment below? Even after Al Diriyah lost Al Farhan to a red card in the 74th minute, they still took the match to extra time.
