3🔍 Why it matters — what to watch for
It's mostly a mis-clearance or a desperate response to a cross backfiring — an accident that only happens because you committed your body. Recorded as the opponent's goal (no scorer). Rather than blaming him, give him credit for tracking back that far.
On the call you'll hear“It comes off his leg as he tries to clear — oh no, it's an own goal…”
