Things went awry quickly for Minnesota United on Thursday , when the team hosted English Premier League team Bournemouth in a pre-season friendly at NSC Stadium in Blaine.
Already down 1-0 to a 24th minute Callum Wilson strike, United made things exponentially worse when the team’s goalkeeper scored perhaps the most improbable own goal of all time barely two minutes later.
Yes, you saw that right. Sammy Ndjock was attempting to throw the ball to, well, somewhere when he accidentally dropped it into his own goal. Ndjock immediately realised his error and attempted to save it, but he failed. Miserably.
“I’m absolutely gobsmacked by that,” United Coach Carl Craig said (via the Pioneer Press) after the game. “Never seen that in me life — ever.”
Whatever happened, though, was likely a freak error. Although disappointed, Craig said he “cannot nail” the 26-year-old Cameroonian for the blunder.
