By now, you’ve probably seen Patrik Schicks’s unbelievable goal that could be the score of Euro 2020, a boot from just inside the halfway line that went over Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall’s head to give the Czech Republic a 2-0 lead in their match on Monday.
But how to Schick do that? And more importantly, how was Marshall THAT out of position to handle that moon shot floater?
Thanks to an overhead angle of the incredible goal, we have an answer, and fans are perplexed as to what Marshall was doing near the middle of the pitch.
Check this out and you’ll get why Schick did what he did:
