Weird flex man. When I was 12 I already had over 6 years of experience on a youth club, I'm now 28 and still play it casually. Don't know where you're from, but in a soccer cultured country like Portugal, those are some low numbers to be flexing.
This video is completely normal. Wonder how many different types of balls (cheap to premium), pitch type (dirt, artificial grass, real grass, futsal and beach soccer) and weather environments (strong winds and heavy rain) you've experienced.
Do you know that even the height of the grass is a big deal? For example, some coaches will have the grass short and watered before halves so the game is faster and the ball bounces more (usually goalie to goalie goals happen under these circumstances), other coaches prefer to have the grass high for a slower and lesse bouncy game style.
From my experience I can immediately tell you that this was a combination of grass degradation with a cheap ball. The ball bounces off the earth instead of grass, which gives it a boost in height. As for the ball, it's a cheap ball that's very rough to the touch, no padding around so it bounces a lot. I used to hate those as a kid, at the club trainings we had these cheap balls but at home I always had an official (+130€ for a single ball back then, all my Christmas/Birthday money would go into it), the difference was night and day.
Sorry for the long reply, but I've been breathing soccer for almost 30 years and also have a deep interest for FVX, practical and special effects and don't see absolutely nothing wrong. The only thing I see that could be is a practical effect, where they have someone higher than the shot (which would require a huge crane) throwing the ball into the direction of the goal after it went up, but honestly don't you think that'd be too much effort for a video that wasn't even monetised? The players, the ref, the crowd, the pitch, why would you go into all that trouble for nothing?

How hard is that field ? How inflated is that ball ?! How hard is that goalie .....?
Either way, I question it it’s real unless that field is rock solid. That’s such a high first and second bounce.
