Sneaky Soccer Goal

Yuzo Tashiro Hides Behind Goalie Jin-Hyeon Kim, Steals Ball And Scores (VIDEO)
Viral soccer highlights that involve defensive lapses usually involve a player kicking the ball into his own net, or a goalie walking away from a penalty kick that he thinks was a miss, only to have it trickle into the net behind him. Things of that nature.

This soccer screw-up involves a bit of trickery, however. During a J.League (Japan's top division) match between Kashima Antlers and Cerezo Osaka, Osaka goalkeeper Jin-Hyeon Kim makes a decent save off a free kick. He waits for the action to clear, and then places the ball on the ground to distribute it to one of his teammates.

The only problem is he didn't know Antlers forward Yuzo Tashiro was lurking behind him, waiting to poach the ball.

You can imagine what happens next. And you can imagine how dejected Kim was left feeling after the major gaffe.

Antlers tied the match 1-1 with the sneaky play, and then went on to win the match, 3-1. Poor Kim.

Neymar Goal Video: Star Brazilian Forward Scores Amazing Goal For Santos Against Flamengo

With each passing goal Neymar scores, it becomes more and more apparent why top European clubs like Chelsea and Real Madrid are interested in signing the 19-year-old Brazilian forward.

But even for a highlight reel as impressive as his, the goal scored by the one-named wonder-teen for Santos against Flamengo on Wednesday night could go down as one of his finest ever. (Even if Flamengo won the match, 5-4.)

It isn't just the fact that he beats no fewer than five defenders on a lengthy run that takes him from the touchline close to midfield all the way into the opponent's penalty area. It's the extremely rare combination of skill and creativity he shows. Neymar splits two defenders, uses a lengthy wall pass to beat another, does a drag-over-flick move to beat another, and then scores with an outside-foot chip, just over the oncoming goalkeeper.

It's enough to make a spectator dizzy. So imagine how the defenders felt.
