Outrageous, last-minute butt goal sends Denmark into U-17 Euros

Published Mar. 30, 2016 5:15 p.m. ET

You don't often see game-winning goals scored by a player's rear end ... "butt" that's exactly what happened between Denmark and Switzerland's U-17 squads.

The score was still 1-1 in stoppage time of their European Championships qualifier when the ball was played deep into the Swiss end with just seconds to play. One last boot upfield probably would've ended the game, but that's when Nicklas Jakobsen charged down and leapt in the air, blocked the defender's clearance with his backside, and saw the ball dip over the bummed goalkeeper into the net.

However, you're still way behind this classic:

No that's not a FIFA glitch. That really happened.
