A goalkeeper's own goal on purpose, twenty years after the real one
In his retirement match, the keeper restaged his most famous mistake, then asked for a video review that put the original on the stadium's giant screen.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 436,625 views a day, 11 times a normal first day on this channel (39,862).
Why This Goalkeeper Scored an OWN GOAL on Purpose 😳
Most goalkeepers spend a career trying to forget their worst moment. The one in FitVision's newest Short chose to say goodbye with his.
As the description tells it, the keeper used his retirement match to recreate, deliberately, the own goal he had conceded by mistake twenty years earlier. Then came the punchline: he asked for a video review, and the giant screen showed footage of the original blunder. The joke turns the replay, normally the tool that settles arguments, into a way of taking a bow.
The clip had passed 300,000 views 13 hours after it went up. A FitVision Short usually ends its first full day near 40,000. The channel as a whole is having a quieter stretch than usual, so this one is doing the work on its own.
It fits the week's theme. FitVision, a clips channel built on odd moments from sports, has spent the past few days on reviews and appeals: a Japan goal at the World Cup that VAR kept in play by a sliver, Yoshinobu Yamamoto walking off before a challenge to his 96 mph sinker was even decided, and a run that scored and then didn't because of a delayed appeal at home plate.
The comment section is small but curious. The clip never names the keeper, and that is the question viewers keep asking. The most liked comment wonders what would have happened if his team had lost by a single goal. A few others admit they cannot quite work out what they just watched.

A farewell joke from a goalkeeper ran far past the usual first day for this channel's Shorts, even though the channel itself is quieter than usual.
