Frederik Rieper, the son of former Celtic cult hero and Danish international Mark Rieper, probably won't forget 25 July 2026 any time soon, as he scored from inside his own half to give Fredericia a 2-0 lead against HB Koge in the Danish 1st division.

It is a rarity for goals to be scored from one's own half. But that is exactly what happened in Fredericia on Saturday afternoon, when FC Fredericia took on HB Koge in the Danish 1st division.

Fredericia defender Frederik Rieper caught HB Koge goalkeeper Noah Sommergaard far off his line and scored with a superb long-range effort which sailed beyond the reach of Sommergaard.
