GOL luar biasa dicetak oleh kiper Stoke, Asmir Begovic saat melawan Southampton musim lalu, masuk catatan rekor di Guinness World Records.
Begovic mencetak gol luar biasa di Stadion Britannia, November 2013, ketika tendangan jarak jauhnya - hanya 12 detik setelah kick-off - dibantu angin dan kemudian melambung menembus gawang lawannya yang dijaga Artur Boruc, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
Gol luar biasa tersebut melambung sejauh 91.9 meter dan kini terdaftar sebagai ´gol terjauh dalam sejarah sepak bola´ yang masuk catatan rekor terbaru Guinness.
Begovic mengatakan kepada situs klub, www.stokecityfc.com: "Saya merasa tersanjung mendapat kehormatan ini dan sebagai kiper saya tidak menyangka mampu melakukannya, apalagi untuk masuk rekor. Saya melakukan dan menikmatinya."
"Saya benar-benar senang atas penghargaan ini dan sertifikat ini membuat saya bangga untuk dipasang di rumah."
"Terima kasih kepada semua orang di Guinness World Records yang memberi saya kesempatan untuk mendapat penghargaan ini."
STOKE goalkeeper Asmir Begovic´s remarkable long-range goal against Southampton last season has earned a place in the Guinness World Records book.
Begovic scored in bizarre fashion at the Britannia Stadium last November when a long kick forward - just 12 seconds after kick-off - caught the wind and then bounced over opposite number Artur Boruc into the net.
The strike was measured at 91.9 metres (301ft 6in) and has now been registered as the ´longest goal scored in football´ in the latest edition of the famous book of records.
Begovic told the club´s website, www.stokecityfc.com: ´I feel amazing to be honoured in this way and as a goalkeeper I didn´t expect this to happen, not for this type of record anyway. I will take it though and enjoy it.
´I really do appreciate this award and the certificate will certainly take pride of place on the wall at home.
´So thank you to everyone at Guinness World Records for presenting me with this wonderful award.´
