It doesn’t get any better than this one.
It’s the first leg of the Euro 2000 play-offs, and Slovenia and Ukraine are tied 1:1. With just six minutes left in the game, Milenko Acimovic bangs a 50-meter shot straight into the goal. It’s a wonder to behold. And as an added bonus, the Ukrainian goalkeeper dramatically rolls into the goalpost after he fails to stop the kick.
Slovenia won the game 2:1.
