Goller, 20, pressed US defender Johnny Kardoso when the latter tried to pass to one of his teammates, but the ball collided with the leg of Goller and headed towards the goalkeeper Matt Friz in a strange way.
This strange goal is the fifth for Gulir in 20 games he played with the Turkish national team, according to the data of the famous “Transfers Market” website.
Guller lived a funny situation before the start of the match, as he was surprised by the security men, stopping him in order to obtain a signature and take memorial photos with him.
