The strangest goal of the week in Europe was scored on Friday. It happened in Croatia, at the match between Istra 1961 and Varazdin, which ended with the victory of the hosts, score 2-1, in the 27th stage of the championship.
The visitors opened the scoring in the 11th minute, through Aleksa Latkovic, the hosts turned the tide of the game in the second half, in a space of two minutes.
Marcel Heister made it 1-1 in the 78th minute, but Josip Radosevic's success was truly unprecedented.

Radosevic he recovered a ball in the center of the pitch and sprinted towards Varazdin's goal.
He sent a modest shot at first sight, on foot, and Oliver Zelenika dived and looked like he would hold on or deny it without much trouble.
Except that the ball entered the goal in a really bizarre way. The ball hit a bump in the turf, bounced over the goalkeeper and into the goal.

The commentator of the match froze when he saw the execution: “The mole appeared in the Drosina stadium! 2-1 for Istra! An absurd goal, I haven't seen anything like that for a long time. Even Zelenika (the goalkeeper who conceded the goal) he laughs, he has nothing else to do.
Right where the turf was destroyed, in the lime point area, the ball took a strange trajectory and went over the goalkeeper, straight into the goal. It really seemed to me that, initially, her trajectory was not even on the goal frame.
Some will laugh with happiness, others will cry with sadness. Or they will make fun of trouble, we'll see. What a turn of events!”, said the commentator.
The success proved to be decisive and Istra prevailed 2-1 and climbed to 5th place in the Croatian championship with 36 points, a length behind Varazdin, who are in 4th.
