#4 Festus Baise vs Sun Hei
Football has seen some sensational goals being scored over the years including Beckham’s half line goal, Zlatan’s stunning propeller kick vs England, Zidane’s volley vs Leverkusen, Bergkamp’s display of skill and elegance vs Newcastle and many more.
But this goal scored by Festus Baise is easily one of the best own goals in the history of the game. The goal is weird and spectacular in equal parts and warrants a place on this list.
Sun Hei took on Citizen AA in the Hong Kong first division back in 2011 and the latter ran out 3-2 winners but they should have won more comfortably after taking a 3-0 lead with less than fifteen minutes to go.
As the clock ticked down to the final 10 minutes, Sun Hei were on the attack down the right flank when a cross came flying in and Nigerian defender Baise contorted his body and connected with the ball, with a scorpion kick.
The ball met his foot perfectly and floated into the top corner as the goalkeeper was left helpless. Simply sensational stuff. If it had gone into the correct goal, it would be described as one of the greatest goals of all time, but instead, it ranks as one of the best own goals in history.
