(CNN) — Deportes Temuco goalkeeper Yerko Ora created the action in the second division of the Chilean soccer league, scoring a header in stoppage time, saving his team from defeat against San Marcos de Arica. .
At the 97th minute, Deportes Timoco club got a corner kick and goalkeeper Yerko Ura left his goal and headed towards the opponent’s penalty area, before jumping brilliantly and heading the ball into the net, after receiving a long cross from his colleague who executed the corner kick.
This goal avoided defeat and kept Deportes Temuco in the competition for promotion to the first division.
Goalkeeper Jerko Ura told AS Chile: “The goalkeeper always gets up at the corner kick with the intention of helping or disturbing (the opponent) so that his team-mate can score,” adding: “This time it was my turn and I never imagined that would happen.” .
Ura credited Deportes Temuco coach Juan José Ribera with giving him permission to step into the corner.
Yerko Ora continued: “Otherwise I would have stayed in the goal, because if I went up they could surprise me in a counter-attack. It’s the details that make the difference. I thank the coach for giving me permission, although I went with the conviction that I could do something.”
Jerko Ora said he will always watch Rogero Ceni and José Luis Chilavert, two legendary goalkeepers from South America, famous for scoring goals from free kicks and penalties.
Last March, goalkeeper Leandro Requina scored a goal from 101 meters away, during his team’s Cobresal match with Colo-Colo, in the first division competitions in the Chilean Football League, which nominates him to enter the “Guinness” book.
