BRAZIL AND RUSSIA faced off in the finals of the men’s futsal at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires yesterday.

The South American ran out 4-1 winners, and they were handed the opening goal in unusual circumstances.

As Neguinho and Guilhermao attacked, Russia’s Danil Karpuik appeared to be getting back to defend – but he somehow managed to rifle the ball into his own net.

What was he playing at…?

Brazil take the early lead on a Russian own-goal in the men's #Futsal final.
