Talk about one you’d like to have back.

Lee Keun-Ho was credited with the first goal of the game in Korea’s Group H match with Russia on Tuesday after his shot on goal from just outside the box hit Russian keeper Igor Afikeev in the hands and trickled past him into the net.

Don’t ask me how Afikeev missed that one. I would say the guy was paid extra money from some Russian mobsters to ensure a loss if that weren’t the only goal he allowed. But it was, and the teams tied 1-1.

Maybe Afikeev lost it in the sun.

Or not.
