#3 Erik Paartalu scores freak goal to put things beyond doubt
Tonight, every single Bengaluru player was keen to get on the score-sheet. Two quickfire goals by Dovale boosted the confidence of the entire team and their influence on the match grew by the minute. Before TC Sports could realise, a third was struck as things took a turn for the worse.
Subhashish's cross into the box was cleared well but it fell straight onto the path of Erik Paartalu who was positioned at least 30 yards from goal. But he couldn't care less. The Australian pounced on the loose ball, took a touch and struck a fine half-volley from distance with his outstretched leg.
The ball looped over TC Sports keeper into the net, who was caught napping way outside his line. Nothing about that shot from Paartalu shouted "technique". He merely bought a ticket and won the lottery with a comical goal.
