I wonder if that counts as an own goal.

EDIT: Looks like FIFA says it's an own goal.

yea, the ball was on it's way out, the one actually tipping it into the goal was the goalkeeper, so in my book that's an own goal - seems like fifa agrees with me there

I agree with that as well, though usually when the ball bounces off the back of the keeper after being shot at the post or bar, which happens sometimes after a free kick or penalty, I don't *think* the FIFA/UEFA/national league or whatever counts it as an own goal.

Obviously the keeper isn't quite as innocent in this case.
