Athanasios Dinas Scores Goal On Perfect Back-Header Off Free Kick

A backwards header to the top corner. Perfect.

Panathinaikos lost to Dynamo Moscow 2-1 at Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium today, but that one was a thing of beauty. With his back to the goal, Athanasios Dinas snapped his head back and redirected Nano González's free kick for a 63rd-minute goal that brought Panathinaikos within one goal. It wasn't just on target, either; it was perfectly placed in the top corner.

Here's another angle where you can get a better look at how Dinas completely froze the goalkeeper. You can't really blame him for turning into a statute, though. Of all the possible outcomes there, a header through all that traffic is dead last on the differential diagnosis.
