Video: Ridiculous women’s futsal goal from Portugal as the keeper is lobbed by some sort of jumping backheel

Listen, we're sorry about the confusing headline, but in the words of Futurama's Calculon, "we're...not familiar with the type of thing we're seeing"

Listen, we’re sorry about the confusing headline, but in the words of Futurama’s Calculon, “we’re…not familiar with the type of thing we’re seeing”

While we’ll admit that we’re the slightest bit hipster-ish when it comes to watching football, the Benfica ladies futsal team is a little bit beyond our usual realm of knowledge, so you’ll have to pardon our ignorance on this one.

What we do know, however, is that a pretty sensational goal was scored for the Lisbon team by Rita Martins this weekend, in a game between Benfica and Novasemente.

She does some form of bunny-hop/heel flick and lobs the keeper with her back to goal, which is incredibly difficult to explain because we’ve never seen anything like it before. Those are some silky skills, no doubt about it.
