For all football connoisseurs, there is no better goal from distance than the one scored by Milenko Ačimovič against Ukraine on November 13, 1999 at the Bezigraj Stadium in the 84th minute. But the world is still full of "Ačimovičs" to whom even our former footballer would bow, and the last of them would be Moritz Stoppelkamp, who a few days ago set a new milestone in the German Bundesliga with a goal from a distance of 82.3 meters.
Goals from distance, especially from their own half of the pitch, have always been something special. These are the moments when you would keepers of the net, who had to get the ball into the goal, preferred to sink into the ground, as the goals usually went to their souls. But this does not reduce the value of the goal itself, which is often labeled as such Eurogoal.

In the case of a match between football sticks Paderborn and to the Hanoverians the situation was somewhat different, as it is the goalkeeper of the latter team in the referee's extra time when executing a corner came to the aid of his teammates in the opponent's penal area. We do not need to explain what the epilogue was, given the topic of the paper. Otherwise, it's best to just take a look.
And although it is Stoppelkamp scored a goal deep in his own half of the pitch (the length of it is approx. 105 m), but this is not a goal scored from the greatest distance. This one belongs to the Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begović, who scored against Southampton with 91.9 meters.
