Soccer player switches to American football, kicks game winner

13 nov 2017

Former MLS goalkeeper Josh Lambo is making the most of his time in his new sport. On Sunday, the football player-turned-football player kicked the winning field goal for his NFL team, the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Lambo originally was a professional soccer player for FC Dallas, though he never played a match for the club. After three seasons of languishing on the sidelines, Lambo decided to make a switch in 2011. He became an American Football kicker.

Though goalkeepers don’t get the opportunity to celebrate goals often, Lambo celebrated his game-winning kick with the enthusiasm of some of the great strikers in the world. Take a look:
