Hamburg goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes has been credited for scoring the 'greatest own goal ever' after smashing the ball into his net in a Bundesliga second-division derby clash.<br /><br />Fernandes was at fault for the second goal in the derby that gave St.Pauli a two-goal lead in Friday's Bundesliga 2 match and social media has been quick to mock the ludicrous effort.<br /><br />When goalkeepers usually score own goals it is normally as a result of a mistaken save or the ball bouncing back off the woodwork and in of the player, but, Fernandes didn't make any such mistake.<br /><br />The 31-year-old blasted the ball into his net with a finish that Hamburg's strikers might have wished they could replicate at the other end of the pitch.<br /><br />A poor defensive play from his side's center-backs left Fernandes scrambling to get back to his goal line following a sloppy back-pass.<br /><br />The ball bobbled across the surface at the Millerntor-Stadion before being booted by the goalkeeper and into the back of his net.<br /><br />His attempted clearance was hit with thunderous effect and into the roof of the net, stunning both sets of supporters and his teammates.<br /><br />Fernandes stared into space while realization set in, however, his side, fortunately, replied with two equalizing goals that rescued a 2-2 draw for the visitors.<br /><br />Meanwhile, social media erupted with a conversation about the outrageous moment that is a contender for the worst own goal ever.<br /><br />One comment stated: 'Possibly the greatest own goal I have ever seen, absolutely sensational work from HSV.'<br /><br />Another added: 'Nah! This should be investigated What in the name of playing out from the back is this?'<br /><br />A third comment further mocked the goal: 'The goalkeeper was helpless before the terrible shot.'
