The Two-Man Bicycle Kick Goal - Finally executed in a real match!


Such goal were earlier only seen on the popular animated cartoon series - Captain Tsubasa.
In last Sunday's Argentina Primera Division match between Gimnasia La Plata and Boca Juniors, it all transpired and we probably won't see such a thing again. After the ball deflected off a Boca defender, Gimnasia's Sebastian Romero and Marco Perez both executed bicycle kicks at the same time to score a goal. Trying to figure the odds on both players executing overhead kicks in unison to put the ball in the back of the net is enough to make your head hurt, especially considering Perez had to scramble to his feet in order to get there.
Gimnasia La Plata ended up winning the match 1-0 and instead of being credited with half a goal each, Perez was the one given sole credit and upon closer inspection, it looks like he at least got more of the ball than Romero. 
Whatever may be the case, this is really is a case of real-life imitating fiction!
