Impressive improvisation.
Starved of football action now that the major European leagues have ended? In desperate need of a further football fix? Are you an insomniac?
If you answered ‘yes’ to these questions, (and aren’t morally opposed to illegally streaming football), then the Japanese second division could be for you.
This year, the league has already thrown up one of the greatest comebacks in football history, (it really was incredible), and now a brilliant piece of goalkeeping.
Omiya Ardija played Avispa Fukuoka earlier today, winning 2-0 and keeping a clean thanks to this save:
Nobuhiro Kato channelled the spirit of Rene ‘El Loco’ Higuita, who famously performed a ridiculous scorpion kick against England, to keep out the ball after it deflected towards his net.
An impressive display of agility and improvisation. We’re off to catch the highlights from the J-League 2, the greatest league in the world, but here’s the original scorpion kick from the former Colombian goalkeeper Higuita.
