Goalkeeper Uses Incredible 'FIFA Trick' Son Taught Him to Force Opponent to Miss

A goalkeeper in the Netherlands used a 'FIFA trick' that his son taught him to surprise his opponent in a genius move.

Groningen and NAC Breda played out a drab goalless draw in the Eredivisie last Saturday.

Even though the Dutch league fixture delivered no goals, it did provide a viral moment that needs to be seen.

Groningen's Etienne Vaessen was able to keep a clean sheet after executing a 'FIFA trick' that his son taught him while playing the popular video game.

In the first-half, NAC were on the attack after Boy Kemper was played in.

Kemper had options in the box but opted to shoot at goal after Vaessen left the near post completely open.

The NAC left-back spotted the supposed opening and attempted a shot.

But Vaessen quickly returned to the near post after baiting Kemper in having a shot at goal.

The Dutch keeper comfortably saved Kemper's strike and smiled in his opponent's direction after pulling off the 'FIFA trick'.

Luckily for the stopper, his trick paid off but he would've embarrassed himself had he let the ball into the back of the net.

After the game, Vaessen explained how he was able to catch Kemper out, revealing he often plays FIFA with his son.

"I saw him looking and I provoked him. Sydney (Van Hooijdonk, ed.) was in front of the goal. That's how I caught him. I often play FIFA with my son. You can do that there too," the 30-year-old said, with a wink. "It's a bit of a game, isn't it?"

On the result, he added: "As far as I'm concerned, they should have called the match off. I was really cold, and I think we should have won at home against NAC.

"We got a point, but it should have been three."

Vaessen will be hoping to keep up his stellar work in goal when Groningen resume their league campaign on Sunday against Heerenveen.
