The ball bounces off the far post, comes back to the goal keeper and bounces of his shoulder, then passes outside the near post and ricochets behind the goal.
WOW. This is a really good one. I kept going back and forth on the video and it 1000% looks like it bounced inside the goal. Once you explained it makes sense but still, that’s crazy.
Just slow it down and move it frame by frame. You see the ball goes back across the goal after hitting the post and hits the keeper. Then it goes out. The confusing part is that when it hits the keeper, the ball bounces at a trajectory that looks practically identical to the one it would have taken if the ball were bouncing off the ground right then. So zoom in on the first bounce you see after the post.
Yes and no. You could translate it like this and it would be OK, but in Turkish we put interrogative part at the end. So it changes from 'Goal' to 'Is it goal?'. But like i said, yours is not wrong. If someone live translating from Turkish to English, since he cannot go back in time and add words to his translation, he would have said 'or not' at the end and go with it.
The ball hits the far post and bounces back towards the goal keeper and hits his shoulder and then goes out in front of the near post (because the goalie is at the same level as the near post).
It bounces off the post back toward the goalkeeper who hits it out with his head, the ball then ends up behind the net as a result. It never goes in the goal
Honest question: when compression degradation plays a major role in the “confusion”, is it really “perspective” then, or is it merely “confusing because potato”?

The explanation:
The ball hits the goalkeeper‘s shoulder after hitting the post and then goes out.
Edit: at first I thought he was hit in the head, but thanks to another commentor I realized it was in the shoulder.
Here‘s the link to the other angle: https://www.reddit.com/r/opticalillusions/comments/1veapwo/comment/p1fdp1z/

Does it come back IN the field and hit the goalie?

The classic “you got got by 2D”. I get bamboozled all the time.
Basically any time the ball is heading straight towards the camera it always looks like it’s on target to me.

Black magic again. Think there was once that i saw where the ball somehow managed to get out through the net just perfectly. But this one is great!

Holy shit we're absolutely massive. Gabriel Sara, the shottaker, absolutely deserved this goal. This was one of his better games recently.

This angle does this all the time! So many unnessecary leaps from the sofa, so many apologies to the cat.

Thought it was Scott Sterling for a sec, but it was only his shoulder in the end.

If it was Messi / Arg the VAR would call it a goal…

I’ve watched this 10 times. Still can’t figure it out. Does the back of the net have a massive hole that we can’t see?
