An incredible own goal that characterizes Monaco’s night of terror in Turkey. The negative protagonist is the French goalkeeper Nubel, who lives a bad night against Trabzonspor. He puts his hand on the action that turns the game around. Material for Mai Dire Gol that would have classified it under the title “autogollonzo”. In the defeat of the French team is (also) the face of the goalkeeper and that of the teammate who is hit – against his will – by the ball and works as a bench for the opposing advantage.
In Group H of the Europa League, the cards are shuffled precisely because of the result (4-0) that they win at the Medical Park Arena. First place reserved for Ferencvaros (who beat Estrela Vermelha, last), second position occupied by the Turks who put the direct confrontation on the ice also due to the goal difference. That’s enough to say how much that goal that opened the game and put him to ‘Trebizond’ can weigh on the conscience of the number one.
It all happened at the end of the first fraction. For Monaco, what appears to be a harmless return pass turns out to be a waking nightmare. From that moment on, the transalpine team will lose the key and will no longer be able to return to the game. In the second half, he will lose everything and become overwhelmed.
The grotesque action that leads to Trabzonspor’s bold advantage. It’s minute number 44, the score is still 0-0 and there are a few minutes left in the set. The initiative is in the hands of the hosts, but too much pressure produces little. The turning point comes soon after. Monaco manages to recover the ball in the best way: it closes spaces in Trabzonspor, breaks the rhythm and the action of the opponents by passing the ball back to the goalkeeper.
Nubel controls the ball, holds it between his feet, lets a few more seconds pass and decides to delay. And he blends great. In the path of the shot is Sarr who can’t do anything to avoid this mess. He sees the goalkeeper’s poorly timed shot come at him, but he can’t avoid it… the ball bounces off his body and crashes into the net for the most mocking of own goals.
