Nectar Triantis scores from his own half in Major League Soccer for Minnesota United

Triantis, who played for Central Coast Mariners 25 times before earning a move to Premier League club Sunderland, scored in the 92nd minute to put his side 3-0 ahead against San Diego.

The Sydney-born midfielder/defender only joined Minnesota in recent weeks, completing a move worth more than $4m AUD, and was making his debut for his new club.

He had previously scored three goals in his professional career which all came for Scottish club Hibernian.

The 22-year-old played 10 times for Australia’s under-20 side and four times for the under-23 team but has recently requested to change his national allegiance to Greece.
