Two random clips came in over the weekend which feel connected by virtue of a strange skewy Karma.

Down Under, the game of the weekend saw the Brisbane Roar overcome a double from ex-star Harry Kewell to beat the Melbourne Victory 3-2, but the margin of victory was wafer-thin.

Snarling for an equaliser in the 74th, Melbourne’s Costa Rican talisman Carlos Hernandez almost scored a goal of the season when he exploded  a Tony Yeboah-esque volley from 25-yards that soul-crushingly hit the underside of the bar and stayed out. As the Aussie commentator aptly put it, “I don’t know about you Simon, but I feel completely ripped off that didn’t go in… It was poetry in motion… I want my money back.”

At the other end of the Karma spectrum was the second division match in Argentina between Defensa y Justicia and Patronato, where the visitors broke the deadlock in the 29th minute with one of the luckiest goals of the season from Matias Quiroga.

Having been released down the right hand side by a hoofed clearance out of midfield, Quiroga, Patronato’s lone striker at the time, did excellently to chase down possession and cut inside his defender. At that point though, looking rather out of puff and ideas, the balky attacker enlisted his primitive goalscoring instincts and barfed a tame strike on the Defensa goal. But he was to strike gold.

Unfortunately for Defensa goalie Carlos Bossio the ball amazingly hit a divot on the chalked turf marking the six yard box, and it googlied it’s way into the near post for a freak funny-bounce goal.
