The Czech Republic’s Patrik Schick scored one of the most remarkable goals in European Championship history.
Schick scored both goals for the Czech Republic in a 2-0 European Championship victory over Scotland on Monday. His second goal, though, will be remembered for years to come.

Patrik Schick saw the goalie off his line and scored a two-goal lead for his club from just inside the halfway line.
When a shot was stopped, Scotland lost possession and the ball dropped to Schick. Before striking a long, looping shot that rebounded into a goal, the Bayern Leverkusen forward looked up and spotted opposing goalkeeper David Marshall way off his line.
