Goalkeepers scoring from their own goal kicks is always impressive, although it does ask question marks about the opposition custodian.

And so it was on Saturday in the Finnish second division as little-known Riverball keeper Lassi Hurskainen netted a freak 80-yard goal against HIFK Helsinki in a 2-0 victory.

With six rounds of the season gone, Riverball currently lead the division by one point ahead of Atlantis, who have a game in hand, while HIFK hold seventh spot in the 14-team league.

Video of Hurskainen's goal can be seen below:
