Best Own Goal Ever! Festus Baise Scorpion Kick Sun Hei SC vs Citizen Hong Kong

Nigerian defender Festus Baise scored a scorpion kick and perhaps the greatest ever own goal during Sun Hei SC’s 3-2 defeat to Citizen AA in the Hong Kong first division.

Is this the finest ever goal you will see? That is, the finest ever OWN goal you will see?

Poor Festus Baise. The nippy Nigerian’s wonder goal (at the wrong end of the field) will forever be inscribed into Citizen AA folklore after his attempted scorpion kick clearance flew beyond fellow team-mate and goalkeeper Tse Tak Him and into his own net.

Quite remarkable when the possibility and indeed, the likelihood of Baise – or any other top striker for that matter – scoring such a goal had he tried, will be all but impossible.

Charlie Coridon’s moment of magic against FC Porto in 2004 immediately comes to mind as does Rene Higuita’s infamous ‘scorpion kick’ at Wembley.

Not even Lionel Messi could do that. Festus Baise…we salute you mate!
