An unusual event was recorded in Ethiopian football.

In a local league match, the goalkeeper of the defending team decided to showcase his acrobatic skills instead of calmly catching the rolling ball.

Unfortunately for the player, after his action, an opposing forward was impeded in the penalty area, and the referee decided to award a penalty kick.

However, the goalkeeper managed to "get out of the puddle dry," as the opposing player who took the shot missed the goal.

JAJAJA, this penalty in Ethiopia goes straight to the most unusual of the year.

The goalkeeper did a backflip while catching the ball and ended up hitting a rival. 🥲🇪🇹.pic.twitter.com/6h93xFvSKj
