American college footballer scores 89th-minute winner from own half (Video)

Tom Victor

Paddy Foss just might have a bright future ahead of him.

The University of Virginia student scored twice in a 3-2 win over Louisville, but that only tells part of the story.

Foss’ winner, with barely a minute of normal time remaining, came from his own half.

Sure, some of you will question what the goalkeeper was doing, but we prefer to sit back and marvel at the fact that Foss would even try to score from that distance.

Maybe we can put it down to him turning 21 earlier in the week – when you reach that age, for a while you think you can do anything.

You can watch the full match highlights, including Foss’ Willian-style free-kick from considerably further in, in the video below.
