The first Chilean league match between Cobresal and Colo Colo made the home goalkeeper a hero, as he managed to score from a throw-in in his own six-yard penalty area.

With the score 2:0 in favor of his team, Leandro Requena scored from one to the other, taking advantage of a mistake by his counterpart, writes Mundo Deportivo.

Reken was powerfully cleared from a six-yard free-kick while Kolo Kolo goalkeeper Brian Cortes was well outside the goal area.

The ball caught the opposition by surprise, unable to intervene, and Cortez, who had the instinct to stop the ball, finally let it go, leading to a goal rarely seen on football pitches from around 100 metres.

In the end, Cobresal won 3-1.
