A soccer goalkeeper may have broken a world record with this extraordinary 101-meter goal

• Leandro Requena scored an extraordinary goal in soccer last weekend.
• The goalkeeper struck the ball so hard that, after an awkward bounce, it rolled over the line at the other end.

With one run-up and an almighty kick that soared a ball high into the air, and around 101 meters in total distance, goalkeeper Leandro Requena scored one of the most extraordinary goals of the season.

The Argentine soccer player netted his team Cobresal's third goal in their 3-1 win over Colo-Colo in Chile's nationwide division on Saturday, March 18.

Colo-Colo keeper Brayan Cortes was outside of his own penalty area and so there was a significant area on the field to exploit.

But few even think about trying something as audacious as what Requena did, let alone execute it — in style.

Requena's kick sent Cortes scrambling back to his line.

There was an awkward bounce, and because Cortes was so far outside of his goalkeeping area, he was prevented from using his hands.

The ball bounced over his head, and though it started slowing down, it still had time to roll over the line before Colo-Colo's defense could do anything about it.

They'd been foiled by what is arguably one of the most embarrassing ways to concede a goal.

And you can watch it right here:

The 101-meter goal, if recognized by Guinness, could break the previous world record goal of 96.01 meters, which Tom King set in 2021 in a lower league match in England, as CNN reported Wednesday.

It is reminiscent of a goal scored by former USMNT mainstay Tim Howard

Former United States men's national team keeper Tim Howard, who played 121 times for the US, scored a similar goal when he was competing for the English Premier League team Everton FC.

Though Howard scored from approximately 91 meters, his goal was similar in that a bounce foiled the opposition goalkeeper.

Explaining his nonchalant reaction, Howard, according to Bleacher Report, said: "It's not a nice place to be. I've been there before, a long, long time ago, and that was why I didn't celebrate."
