Watch: Goalkeeper sparks wild celebrations with stunning goal from own penalty area in Mexican league semi-final

Santiago Ramirez scored a sensational goal in the semi-final of the Mexican Liga de Expansion earlier this week.

Mexico's Liga de Expansion witnessed a bizarre goal during the final minutes of the semi-final match between Atlético Morelia team and Celaya earlier this week. Atletico Morelia, trailing 1-2 in the second leg (and 2-3 on aggregate), were in a bid to snatch an equalizer in the stoppage time when their goalkeeper, Santiago Ramirez, took a shot from his own penalty area in a desperate attempt; to everyone's amazement, the ball beat opposition's goalkeeper Allison Revuelta, who had run up to the opposition's box to double his side's lead and put the game to bed.

Revuelta attempted a header on a cross from his fellow teammate inside Atletico Morelia's penalty area, and as their goalkeeper Ramirez caught it with ease, made a run towards the unguarded goal. Ramirez seized the opportunity and kicked with all of his power, and scored a wild length-of-the-pitch goal, finding the net after the ball bounced twice in the penalty area on its way.

Watch:

Justifiably, the goal sparked crazy scenes at the away end, as Atletico Morelia booked a berth in the final of the tournament with a 4-2 aggregate victory.

Even if the dramatic goal is kept side, it was a chaotic game between both the sides which saw five red cards -- two for Celaya and three for Atletico Morelia.

Morelia will now play the first leg of the final against CD Tapatio on Wednesday; the winner of the final will take on Atlante -- who are the champions of the season-opening Apertura tournament -- for the Champion of Champions final.
