Mortified goalie accidentally scored against his own team
Everyone makes mistakes. Luckily, most of us don't have to watch them replay on a Jumbotron minutes later.
That wasn't the case for Minnesota United FC's goalie, Sammy Ndjock, who on Wednesday accidentally scored a goal against his own team during a pre-season game against AFC Bournemouth.
Ndjock had the seemingly simple task of tossing the ball back onto the field, but after failing to release it from his hand quickly enough, the ball wound up bouncing backwards into his own goal.
