In the end it didn't really matter but for a while Vasilios Torosidis' comedy own goal gave Romania a slight glimpse of hope in the second leg of their World Cup playoff last night.
Greece were leading 1-0 in the game and 4-1 on aggregate when the Roma defender swung a boot at the ball in the edge of his own box. What resulted was the unintended consequence that the ball ended up the the top corner of his own net.
Stick this one down for the inevitable end of year comedy own goals list.
