Lazio's shot-stopper Ivan Provedel left football fans stunned when he was the Italian side's unlikely hero against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
The Rome-based side had fallen behind in the first half of their Group E game on Tuesday evening when Pablo Barrios found the net for Diego Simeone's team. And Atleti started to shut up shop as they dug deep for the win.<\/p>\n
With the game deep into stoppage time, and the clock ticking down, Provedel went to join the attack for a Lazio free-kick. Luis Alberto fired the ball into the mixer and Provedel powered his header beyond Jan Oblak.<\/p>\n

"That Lazio keeper's goal is actually a joke… He's timed that run into the box and bullet header like prime Cristiano," one fan joked. While a second shared: "Nah no way I just saw Lazio goalkeeper score a bullet header at the death. The UCL is something special man!"<\/p>\n
"The run he makes is so good. Only player on the move," a third said. And another added: "Better movement than most Premier League strikers!"<\/p>\n

Provedel is the fourth keeper to have found the net in the Champions League. Jorg Butt has scored from the spot for three German teams – Hamburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich – while Vincent Enyeama once scored a penalty for French outfit Olympique Lyonnais.<\/p>\n
Sinan Bolat is the only other goalkeeper to have scored from open play, when his header helped Dutch side AZ Alkmaar secure a 1-1 draw with Belgium's Standard Liege.<\/p>\n
