Geoffrey Acheampong is an opportunist.

His Californian highschool were in action recently, when he spotted the opposition goalkeeper off his line before the sides kicked off.

After his teammates got the game underway, they laid it off to Acheampong, who launched the ball into the sky, and eventually lobbing the hapless goalkeeper.

From kickoff to net? Six seconds by our count.

Take a bow son.
