The delight for a keeper to get his name on the score sheet tempered with the disbelief that his opposite number can possibly concede from such a staggering distance.

Maldivian goalkeeper Imran Mohamed experienced the ecstasy –emotional state rather than any link with drug abuse – while the goalkeeper on the receiving end plays for a team called Victory. Honestly.

Mohamed’s side New Radiant emerged victorious in the Maldives President Cup semi-final after extra-time and local papers believe it is the first time in history a goalkeeper in the Maldives scored a competitive goal.
