An Iranian defender has turned a routine throw-in into one of the most extraordinary assists of the young Russian football season, executing a forward somersault before launching the ball into the penalty area for Spartak Kostroma.
Evidence and Data
Spartak head coach Roman Berezovsky also indicated after Sunday’s victory that the club sees the throw as a genuine tactical weapon rather than a novelty. Having seen Mohammadi demonstrate his range during his debut, Spartak positioned players inside the penalty area to attack his deliveries against SKA. He has created more than 10 goals using the technique during his career, according to Mohammadi.
