Ball boy scores

A Brazilian referee was left red-faced after allowing a goal scored by a ball boy to stand in a regional tournament in Sao Paulo in September 2006. Standing behind one of the goals, the boy fielded the ball after a wayward shot and then casually kicked it into the goal when the referee's back was turned. The referee, Silvia Regina de Oliveira, said she had awarded the goal on the advice of one of her assistants.
