Watch Baroka FC goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke score an outrageous overhead-kick

We all love a goalkeeper going up for a corner in the dying seconds of a game - but rarely does it end in such acrobatic fashion!

Unless your name is Oscarine Masuluke, who catapulted himself into the limelight with an outrageous effort for Baroka against Orlando Pirates in South Africa.

With his team 1-0 down and the clock ticking into injury time, a corner from the right was half cleared into the path of the goalkeeper who had his back to goal nearly 18 yards out.

Any chance of forcing an effort at goal looked slim but Masuluke decided to try an audacious effort with his back to goal and the result was spectacular.

Amazingly, the ball looped towards goal and caught the opposition goalkeeper totally unaware.

"I am still shocked," he said. "When woke up this morning I was still surprised.

"I still don't believe it. It's not something that I practise. It's just [a] decision I took at that moment. Fortunately it worked so well. I am still excited and can't believe it. I feel great."
