In second 32 you can see the Liverpool fan hit the beach ball onto the pitch. This beach ball comes back to act as a striker providing a masterful flick past the Liverpool goalie. I have always noticed soccer fields throughout the world (especially in South America) providing home to plenty foreign, fan-supplied objects. I have never seen one have such a tremendous effect on a game. Sunderland 1-0 Liverpool.
