ADO goalkeeper Hansen scores Ibrahimovic-like backheel against PSV


Goalkeeper Martin HansenThe 25-year-old could very well be in line for a Puskas Award nomination following his sublime finish in Den Haag on Tuesday


ADO Den Haag goalkeeper Martin Hansen scored arguably one of the best goals there will be in 2015-16 to help his side to a 2-2 draw against reigning Eredivisie champions PSV in their opening game of the new season on Tuesday evening.

With his side trailing 2-1 in the dying seconds of the game, Hansen decided to join his team-mates in attack after the referee awarded ADO a free kick in a dangerous position.


Although Kenji Gorre's set piece was by no means a perfect cross, the Danish goalkeeper pulled off his best Zlatan Ibrahimovic imitation to beat his PSV colleague with a stunning backheel-volley to salvage a draw for the hosts.

"It was a crazy end to the game," Hansen told the club's official website. "I said to Kenji it was a bad ball, but I just tried to do anything I could to direct it to the goal.

"The fans were cheering me on after 80 minutes to go up. Normally, when we're only one goal behind, we try to create as much chaos in the box as possible.
"I said at 90 minutes I would go and we got our chance with the free-kick. I don't know what happened. Just instinct, really, and just try to get the ball towards the goal and see what happens."
