During interval of a recent Danish Superliga match, a fan was called upon to try to kick a ball into a ball-sized hole into the net to bag himself 100,000 krone (€13,400).
Miraculously, the man managed to hit the ball perfectly into the opening as nonchalant as you like.
The sparse crowd (clearly the gimmick isn't working that well) went absolutely apeshit as the hero nailed the trick shot.
