Watch: Goalie scores on himself in gale-force winds (CBS) - It's always news when goalkeepers score goals. U.S. goalie Tim Howard made headlines in January after scoring an incredible 100-yard goal. Assaf Mendes also scored an improbable goal from his own goal line. Unfortunately, he scored on himself. Maccabi Haifa was playing an exhibition match against Dynamo Kiev in gale-force winds. The winds were so strong that Mendes' goal kick flew into the air, stopped in mid-flight, and soared back into his own goal. The result was so embarrassing that even the other team looked chagrined about celebrating. Yahoo! Sports reports that the game was eventually called off because of the gale. Assaf Mendes was probably hoping they'd stopped the game much sooner.
