Keeper In South African Premier Division Equalizes in Final Seconds of Stoppage Time on Bicycle Kick

Goals don't get much more inconceivable than this.

Baroka FC pulled out a miracle draw this afternoon against the Orlando Pirates in South Africa's Premier Division and it's all thanks to goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke. Orlando held a 1-0 lead through the 95th minute, the last minute of stoppage time, but Baroka were awarded a corner kick for what was likely the last play of the match. Thanks to Masuluke, it was.

The corner came in and the Pirates keeper made a nice play to punch it away from danger, or so he thought. Since it was the last play of the game, Baroka brought Masuluke, in purple, up to the box as an extra body. After the punch, the ball bounced close enough to him that he was able to track it down and make a last ditch effort to steal a draw. With his back to net, Masuluke went for the bicycle kick. Since the Orlando keeper had just flung himself around trying to stop the initial chance, he was late getting back into position and could only watch as the ball soared over his fingers.

The fun doesn't stop there, though. After the goal, Masuluke broke it down with an inspired celebration that looked to involve a Cassell-esque Big Balls move, and ended with him catching two teammates as they leapt into his arms.

The game ended 1-1. What's worse, after the insane finish, Orlando's keeper had to take a photo with his counterpart who bested him.

That is definitely the face of a man who is congratulating another man. For sure.
