Is this the real life; is this just fantasy?
If it was to happen in Fifa, then you’d swear there was a scratch on the disc.
But it actually did happen in real life, and we can’t quite understand how.
Institute FC hosted Ballinamallard on Friday evening in the first leg of the promotion play-off in the Northern Iirish League.
The away side eventually broke the deadlock after 22 minutes, when a foul in the box led to Stephen O’Flynn stepping up from 12 yards.
Unfortunately, his spot kick was saved, and what followed next was actually almost too hard to believe.
If someone tried to describe this they couldn’t, so we’re very thankful for the full 30 seconds that Twitter allows for videos.
Flynn’s kick is saved, he gets booted when collecting the rebound, he gets a shot away and pings it off the post, it’s scrambled clear, the ball is lofted back in, and then, well, it all kicks off.

The lead didn’t last long as Institute restored parity four minutes later, with the visitors eventually winning the game 2-1.
