What was the longest goal in football history from: amazing fact
In March 2023, an unusual record was set in the Chilean football championship.
During the match between the clubs Cobresal and Colo-Colo, perhaps the longest goal in football history was scored.
Cobresal goalkeeper Leandro Requena scored.
At the moment the footballer kicked the ball, the sports equipment was 101 meters away from the opposite goal.
Details of the football record
By the 77th minute of the match, the Cobresal club was already winning with a score of 2:0.
Goalkeeper Requena put the ball into play from the goal area.
At first, the footballer thought that he had made a gross mistake: there was a risk of a counterattack from the opponents.
However, the ball landed in front of the opposite penalty area, bounced several times and began to roll into the Colo-Colo goal.
The team's goalkeeper, Brian Cortes, tried to catch the ball, but nothing came of it.
The length of the field on which the match was played is 105 meters. The goal was scored from the goal area - from a distance of 101 meters.
Perhaps the achievement will be included in the Guinness Book of Records. At least, the Cobresal club has submitted an application to do so.
