Video: Danish fan earns himself a cool €13,400 for nailing ludicrous trick shot

Better than Bendtner

It almost seems like he was underpaid for this brilliant effort.

If you’re a struggling club, there are few better ways to get more meat in the seat than putting on a gimmicky halftime challenge that gives fans a chance to win a bit of money.

However, no matter how difficult the competition is, Murphy’s Law usually comes into play and some chancer will inevitably pull it off. It backfired for Jackie Moon’s Flint Tropics and it did likewise for Randers FC.

During interval of a recent Danish Superliga match, a fan was called upon to try to kick a ball into a ball-sized hole into the net to bag himself 100,000 krone (€13,400).

Miraculously, the man managed to hit the ball perfectly into the opening as nonchalant as you like.

The sparse crowd (clearly the gimmick isn’t working that well) went absolutely apeshit as the hero nailed the trick shot.
