In the Belarusian championship, a footballer scored a "dry leaf" goal directly from a corner VIDEO
In a match of the Belarusian championship between "Baranovichi" and Dzerzhinsk "Arsenal", "Arsenal" player Dmitry Antilevsky scored a beautiful goal directly from a corner kick.
In the 39th minute of the match, Antilevsky sent the ball into the penalty area from a corner, and it, without touching any players, unexpectedly flew into the far corner of the goal.
Such a shot in football is usually called a "dry leaf". This is a legendary football technique where the ball, after being struck, flies in a complex arc, spins around its axis, and then sharply drops into the goal at the end. It got its name from the similarity of its trajectory to how dry leaves fall to the ground: it seems that the ball is flying wide or too high, but at the last moment, it is "pinned" to the ground.
This shot is considered one of the most difficult for goalkeepers because determining the ball's landing point is almost impossible until the very last moment.
Once, back in Soviet times, this technique was a true hallmark of Kyiv "Dynamo" player Valeriy Lobanovsky, who later became even more famous as a world-renowned coach. Its global pioneer is considered to be the Brazilian footballer Didi, who played in the 1950s and 1960s.
