Goalkeeper completely forgets where he is as Estonia score World Cup qualifying’s strangest goal

MOLDOVA goalkeeper Andriy Kozhukhar may have committed the biggest blunder of the season during the international break.

The Moldovan national team hosted Estonia in a 2026 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday at the Zimbru Stadium.

The hosts trailed 1-0 following Rasmus Peetson's opener after just 19 minutes.

That was after Moldova lost Maxim Cojocaru to a straight red card just five minutes into the match.

And things got even worse for Serghei Clescenco's side in the half-hour mark.

Estonia got a corner-kick down the right and Kevor Palumets delivered a pinpoint cross into the box.

Palumets found Rauno Sappinen whose header caught a tiny deflection off of Oleg Reabciuk.

The ball went straight into Kozhukhar's arms, but there was a serious problem.

The keeper apparently forgot where he was as he was standing BEHIND his goal line.

The linesman quickly noticed the Veres Rivne ace's unbelievable error and quickly raised his flag.

The referee also spotted that gaffe and immediately awarded Estonia their second goal of the night.

Moldova went on to put up a fight but couldn't save Kozhukhar's blushes.

Estonia won the match 3-2 but also lost Palumets to a second yellow card on 48 minutes.
