In a bizarre Irish football match between Ballyheane B and Conn Ranger B, both goalkeepers scored a goal, to give the crowd full value for their money.

According to metro.co.uk, Ballyheane B were ahead of rivals Conn Rangers B 3-2 in their League One clash in Mayo on Saturday with just two minutes of normal time remaining when Conn keeper Michael Melody ran 40 yards up the pitch before banging in a 35-yard screamer to level the scores at 3-3.

Shane Maughan then put Rangers ahead but the game was far from over as Ballyheane stopper Karl Cafolla curled a 40-yard free-kick over the wall, which went into the net, the report said.

 

Rangers keeper Melody said that he beat the opponent team's striker in a header and went past their midfielder, and then he got to the halfway line and hit as hard as he could.
