Summary
Marius Muller produced a rabona clearance from inside his own six-yard box in the 38th minute of Aberdeen’s second-round League Cup match against Dundee, drawing stunned reactions at Pittodrie.
The German goalkeeper attempted the audacious kick after a backpass arrived on his weaker side and a Dundee forward closed him down; the clearance still carried about 40 yards upfield.
Stephen Robinson shook his head when asked about the moment, while clips spread quickly on social media, where fans and broadcasters seized on the unusual piece of goalkeeping flair.
Aberdeen went on to beat Dundee after scoring three times in 13 second-half minutes, with Muller’s showpiece coming in only his sixth game since joining from Wolfsburg.
