Hamburg goalkeeper\u00a0Daniel Heuer Fernandes has been credited for scoring the ‘greatest own goal ever’ after smashing the ball into his own net in a\u00a0\u00a0Bundesliga second division derby clash.<\/p>\n
Fernandes was at fault for the second goal in the derby that gave St.Pauli a two-goal lead in Friday’s Bundesliga 2 match and social media has been quick to mock the ludicrous effort.<\/p>\n
When goalkeepers usually score own goals it is normally as a result of a mistaken save or the ball bouncing back off the woodwork and in of the player, but, Fernandes didn’t make any such mistake.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old blasted the ball into his own net with a finish that Hamburg’s strikers might have been wishing they could replicate at the other end of the pitch.<\/p>\n
A poor piece of defensive play from his side’s centre-backs left Fernandes scrambling to get back to his goal-line following a sloppy back-pass.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
St.Pauli players celebrated after the outrageous own goal gave them a two-goal cushion in the derby match<\/p>\n
The ball bobbled across the surface at the\u00a0Millerntor-Stadion before being booted by the goalkeeper and into the back of his own net.<\/p>\n
His attempted clearance was hit with thunderous effect and into the roof of the net, stunning both sets of supporters and his own team-mates.<\/p>\n
Fernandes stared into space while realisation set in, however his side fortunately replied with two equalising goals that rescued a 2-2 draw for the visitors.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, social media erupted with conversation about the outrageous moment that is definitely a contender for the worst own goal ever.<\/p>\n
One comment stated: ‘Possibly the greatest own goal I have ever seen, absolutely sensational work from HSV.’<\/p>\n
Another added: ‘Nah! This should be investigated What in the name of playing out from the back is this?’<\/p>\n
A third comment further mocked the goal, adding: ‘The goalkeeper was helpless before the terrible shot.’<\/p>\n
