Double Bicycle KickDuring last Sunday’s Argentina Primera Division soccer game between Gimnasia La Plata and Boca Juniors, something happened that probably hasn’t happened before and we probably won’t see again any time soon.

After the ball deflected off a Boca defender, Gimnasia’s Sebastian Romero and Marco Perez both executed bicycle kicks at the same time to score a goal. Trying to figure the odds on both players executing overhead kicks in unison to put the ball in the back of the net is enough to make your head hurt, especially considering Perez had to scramble to his feet in order to get there.

Gimnasia La Plata ended up winning the match 1-0 and instead of the goal being credited with half a goal each, Perez was the one given sole credit and upon closer inspection, it looks like he at least got more of the ball than Romero did. It probably didn’t hurt that he was the one who celebrated the goal first.

Eurosport is calling it a “tandem” bicycle kick as that’s what you call a two-person bicycle.
