Dominican forward Dorny Romero netted an unconventional goal, helping Bolívar secure a draw against Deportivo La Guaira in a match within the same Libertadores group as Fluminense on Tuesday.
The unusual moment occurred when Venezuelan goalkeeper Jorge Sánchez set the ball on the ground to restart play, oblivious to Romero lurking right behind him.

The striker quickly seized the opportunity, easily stole the ball, and simply tapped it into the unguarded net.
This incident has drawn comparisons to Ronaldo Fenômeno’s iconic goal for Cruzeiro back in 1993.
On that occasion, the young No. 9 capitalized on a similar mistake by Uruguayan goalkeeper Rodolfo Rodríguez of Bahia to score.
Bolívar and La Guaira are both in the same group as Fluminense, who are set to take the field this Wednesday (15) at the Maracanã, facing Argentina’s Independiente Rivadavia.
The Argentine team currently leads the group after defeating Bolívar in the opening match.
