Evian Goalkeeper Scores Incredible Goal from His Own Penalty Area

In a recent National 3 League match, Thonon Evian’s goalkeeper, Melvin Adrien, surprised everyone by scoring directly from a goal kick within his penalty area.

The club has a rich history, having played four seasons in Ligue 1 and reaching the French Cup final in 2013, where they lost 2-3 to Bordeaux. After facing bankruptcy in 2016, the team was reestablished as Thonon Evian Grand Genève.

This time, the team made headlines again with a 2-1 away win against Torcy. Adrien was the standout player, scoring as he caught the opposing goalkeeper by surprise with a long goal kick that found its way into the net.
