This is undoubtedly every fan’s dream – you have your superstitions. Can’t let the game kick off unless you have your lucky socks on. You have to eat the same thing at the same time every game day. Whatever you do on a day your team wins, you have to repeat it until your team loses. That’s the power of will. But what we have here, folks – this is a fan who’s actually making a difference:

I don’t know how they do things in Honduras – seems like security’s a little shoddy, but hot damn! This is amazing.
Via Cyprus Daily – “Every fan has at some point felt they could do a better job than the useless shower they’ve paid to ruin their Saturday afternoon watching but very few of us actually take matters into our own hands in the manner one Olimpia fan did during a recent Honduran Liga Nacional game against Montagua.
With the game reaching it’s final moments, Montagua were defending resolutely against an Olimpia team desperately seeking an equaliser.
Olimpia’s Roger Rojas found himself in space on the edge of the penalty area and unleashed a fantastic strike into the roof of the net. However, while that may not sound controversial in the slightest, the fact that a topless pitch invader had surged into the box at the same time with his own ball and rolled that past a distracted goalkeeper undoubtedly confused Montagua’s defence enough to allow a goal to be scored.”
It’s sheer brilliance. It’s hardline determination. This is the sports story we’ve needed in 2017 – not the butthole-poking Clemson Tigers winning the National Championship. Not Tom Brady winning his fifth Super Bowl. It’s this fan, bringing his own ball to the stadium, dropping it on the pitch in a crucial moment of the game, and mind-fucking the defense into oblivion.
This is what sports is all about, people! This shirtless pitch invader is all of us who are fucking fed up with our team losing and ready to make a real difference. I don’t know where his team plays, but this guy deserves a statue
Seattle claims to have the 12th man? Pfffft. That’s laughable. I don’t see anyone storming the field to tackle David Johnson.
“How none of the match officials or stewards in the stands noticed the man making his way onto the pitch in the first place is incredibly suspect, let alone not noticing him sticking the ball into the back of the net just a fraction of a second after Rojas had levelled arrears in the 93rd minute.”
Yeah, so what it’s a little shady? What great sports moment EVER happened without a little controversy?
“There is no word yet on whether the goal will be overturned and victory awarded to Montagua or even if the game will be replayed entirely or just left to stand as it is.”
Honduras – this is your time to #RiseUp (just not like the Falcons). You have to let this goal stand. I don’t care that it was illegal, unethical, and actually totally should not count. I don’t care that it sets a precedent for people to get away with running on the field and scoring goals all willy nilly.
This is the pinnacle of the sporting world – a moment that will echo throughout eternity. Don’t minimize that by disallowing the goal.
