Víctor Valdés was perhaps the worst goalkeeper of all the European clubs. It was not because of his lack of potential, but because of his instability. He often exhibited some inexplicable low-level mistakes, such as kicking the ball directly to the other side's feet, creating an assisted offense for the opponent, or fumbling the ball after diving on it. But this time, it was not his fault.
Nottingham Forest's turf and field combined to make the goal. Valdés knelt on the ground and gave a hard slap to the culprit — a bulging piece of turf in front of his foot. This was where the football rolled when it suddenly jumped and playfully dodged Valdés's right leg, scoring Forest's goal.
