The latest entry into this celebrated series of sports stories comes from Thailand, where Bangkok Sports Club and Satri Angthong were competing in a semifinal cup game.
The two teams remained tied at 2-2 at the end of regulation and were still knotted at 19-19 during the shootout when the keeper for Bangkok Sports Club stepped up to the spot in an attempt to put his team ahead. His shot ricocheted off the crossbar and into the air, sending the opposing keeper sprinting toward midfield in celebration.
