Now controversial goals > are not exactly unknown in soccer, There are indeed many goals in the history of football that have caused a lot of discussion after the game.

The only other I can think of on the top of my head is "the hand of God", scored by Maradona in 1986 - against England. > and I don't think the specific > details are sufficiently notable to treat this as the "only player > to have done it". The only one to have done it a final on overtime (well, I think "extra time" is the correct name) Which I did say in my answer. |
