Goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin scored one of the most dramatic Champions League<\/a> goals in recent memory to give Benfica a stunning 4-2 victory over 15-time winners Real Madrid.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The magical moment came in the 98th minute of a memorable match that was jam-packed with six goals, two red cards, and buckets of drama from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timing and importance of the goal were huge – it fired Benfica through to the play-offs – but the fact that it came from the most unlikely of sources – a goalkeeper! – means it will long live in the memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benfica led 3-2 heading into the dying seconds, but with Real Madrid reduced to nine men deep into stoppage time, the hosts knew that they desperately needed one more goal to avoid a cruel league-phase exit on goal difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With seconds left on the clock, Benfica won a free-kick, and Trubin wasted no time sprinting down the other end of the pitch to join his teammates in the Real Madrid box. Fredrik Aursnes whipped in a perfect delivery, and Trubin did the rest, thundering a pinpoint header past the helpless Thibaut Courtois in the 98th minute, which sparked scenes of absolute pandemonium and, in turn, stamped the Ukrainian into the history books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, only four other goalkeepers have achieved the rare feat of scoring a Champions League goal. Below, we\u2019ve explored these players in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
