Watch: Young Marseille Fan Seizes His Opportunity and Scores on Ceremonial Kickoff

The French Ligue 1 has a tradition similar to the ceremonial first pitch in baseball: A fan is invited onto the field to perform a ceremonial kickoff, just a simple kick to one of the players on the home team. A kid at Sunday’s game between Marseille and Rennes wasn’t satisfied with just one touch.

Not only did the kid take the ball all the way down to the other end of the field and score, he capped it off with a yellow card-worthy celebration.

Incredibly, this is the second time in less than a year that this exact thing has happened at a Marseille game.
