Goal After Ball Bounces Back On!
Submitted By: Pedro Reyes
Although I wasen't around for this one, this is one of the most famous
stories in Uruguayan derbys. It happened in the 1930's and after a
Nacional player had hit a ball out of bounds close to the post, the ball
returned back to the field thanks to a cameraman's briefcase which was
left there, another Nacional player then calmly pushed it in. The referee
who was standing far away though the ball had hit the post.
This derby became known as "briefcase derby"
