David Alaba has passed the ball to the goalkeeper many times, but this time he wanted to do the same thing reminded why some football coaches simply forbid passing the ball to goalkeepers in the goal area.
On Tuesday, in a friendly match, the Austrian national team beat Maltese footballers 2-1.
D. Alaba scored an own goal in the 87th minute, when he received a pass in the penalty area under pressure from the opponents. He quickly kicked the ball to the goalkeeper, but he had already left the goal to help a player, expanding the area.
