Ukraine soccer midfielder Oleh Gusiev suffered an embarrassing moment during Tuesday's friendly against Lithuania when he somehow managed to kick the ball into his own face.
It happened during the first half of the match as Gusiev was apparently attempting to clear the ball by kicking it behind him. We're pretty sure Gusiev did not intentionally kick the ball into his own face.
Gusiev appeared stunned for a brief moment but seemed to be perfectly fine, except for a possibly bruised ego.
The match between Ukraine and Lithuania ended in a scoreless draw.
