During FSCB's 2-0 victory against Midtjylland in the Europa League, Thursday November 7, Daniel Birligea scored a gag goal thanks to an error by goalkeeper Elias Olafsson.
Great moment of solitude for Elias Rafn Olafsson. The 24-year-old Icelandic goalkeeper cost FC Midtjylland a gag goal against Steaua Bucharest on Thursday November 7 in the Europa League. This allowed the Romanian club, officially named FCSB, to win 2-0 for the 4th day of the championship phase of the competition.
The unusual moment occurred at the start of the second half. Possession was for Midtjylland, trailing since a Florin Tanase goal in the 16th minute.
All Midtjylland players on the halfway line
On the commitment, Oliver Sørensen played behind Elias Rafn Olafsson. Eager to equalize as quickly as possible, the entire Midtjylland team was on the halfway line and running towards the opponent's goal. The goal was for the goalkeeper to put the ball far in front. Except that two attackers from the Romanian club had the good idea to go to the dry cleaners. And when playing this ball, the goalkeeper actually shot at Daniel Birligea, one of the two opponents.
Result: the ball bounced… towards the Midtjylland goal. Completely overwhelmed, Elias Rafn Olafsson could only be in the front row to see Daniel Birligea drive home the point in front of the empty cage.
With this result, the Danish club falls to 13th place with seven points. FCSB did well by moving up to 8th place, directly qualifying for the round of 16, with nine points.
