A match between Rot-Weiss Essen v Wattenscheid 09 (Try pronouncing that)
In a ploy to confuse the keeper, six players surround the ball during a free-kick and two players feign movement and attempt to take the kick at the same time.
In the prevailing confusion, Benedikt Koep steps forward and curls in a fine left-footed free-kick beyond the keeper and into the top corner.

Add dropping your shorts to that list because that’s exactly what the Catania players did during this match. With the free-kick about to be taken from about 25 yards out, four players from Catania dropped their shots right in the goalkeeper’s line of sight.
And it worked too, the goalkeeper eyes stayed glued to the players while the ball was sent hurtling past him by one of the other Catania players.
