Austin FC defender gifts St Louis City "funniest goal ever" on opening MLS weekend

St Louis City SC forward Jared Stroud was bizarrely assisted by an opposition player on Saturday night - and it's been branded as the "funniest goal ever" online.

The newest Major League Soccer franchise played their first league game on Saturday, and managed to kick things off with a stunning 3-2 win against Austin FC. After initially taking the lead, St Louis found themselves 2-1 down before being handed a brain fade to find a route back into the game.

Kipp Keller had a major lapse in concentration and was seen passing the ball straight to Stroud, who was left with a simple one-on-one to shoot at and get St Louis back into the game. It was a freak error with no real explanation, and fans have found it very amusing.
