For goalkeepers in Chile, the season is getting extremely intense.

Just a few weeks after Leandro Requena may have scored the all-time longest goal, Deportes Temuco custodian Yerko Urra also scored for his team.

Urra raced the length of the field to attack what was undoubtedly Temuco’s final corner of the game in the 97th minute, when his team was down 1-0 at home to San Marcos de Arica.

Urra responded well to a teammate’s flicked corner at the near post, leaping forward to head the ball into the roof of the net for a goal that would have satisfied any striker.

The draw allows Temuco to keep up with early leaders San Luis and La Serena in the competition for promotion back to Chile’s top division, therefore it was also a significant goal.

According to Urra, who spoke to AS Chile, “a custodian always goes [up for a corner] with the intention of helping or bothering [the opposition] so a teammate can score.”

This time it was my turn, and I never would have thought it would.

Juan José Ribera, the Temuco head coach, is to thank for allowing Urra to go up for the corner kick.

In any other case, Urra claimed, “I would have stayed in goal because if I went up, they could write me down in a counterattack.” The distinction is in the details.

I appreciate the coach’s permission, but I also went there believing I could accomplish something.

Urra continued by saying how much he cherished the sensation of a goal.

“In my position, we’re not used to it,” he declared.

“In my position, we’re not used to it,” he declared.

Rogério Ceni and José Luis Chilavert, two illustrious South American goalkeepers known for converting free kicks and penalties, are two players Urra said he would always follow.

“I love that, but there are already designated players here,” Urra said. At least this time, I took advantage of the opportunity and converted.c
