“What just happened? How could a football explode during a soccer match like that?

An unprecedented situation occurred recently when a player taking penalty kick experienced an unexpected malfunction when the soccer ball literally exploded immediately after the player made contact with the ball! The remnants of the soccer ball then floated into the net and the referee awarded a goal! The fans at the game erupted in laughter at the scene and players on the field were unable to contain their smiles at this predicament!

This comical scene occurred in a charity football match in the United Kingdom between Swansea City and Briton Ferries Ranswell. Since such an situation almost never happens in professional football, several messages posted on social media networks made this incident a global topic of discussion with online viewers from all over the world!

One of the tweets posted on Twitter had a short video attached for everyone’s viewing pleasure!

What did you think?

The goalkeeper is simply unable to react to the situation and watches helplessly as the ball lands into the goal behind him!

Since this particular football game was a charity match, both the players and spectators were in good spirits and a much less competitive atmosphere was very apparent compared to an official game!

It would be interesting to see if the same situation were to occur in a professional match if the reactions to this ball explosion would be the same or completely different!
