Watch: Mozambique football team takes celebration too far, concedes straight from half-pitch

Mozambique club Ferroviario Maputo paid the price for celebrating their goal against K-Stars when their opponents took advantage of their exaggerated celebration by scoring straight from the resumption of the game. 

In the 2015 Future Champions Gauteng International Tournament, Ferroviario were hoping to take advantage of their first appearance at the annual competition. 

Dos Santos Adriano had given Ferroviario the lead with an impressive free-kick when the whole team, including the goalkeeper, decided to run around the pitch, throw in a few somersaults and make the most of the occasion.

But what happened next was quite astonishing when Zambian side K-Stars took advantage of the overenthusiastic celebration in bizarre fashion. 

The referee allowed K-Stars to kick off while Ferroviario were still soaking up the atmosphere and Kapilingo Francisco lobbed the stray goalkeeper to level the scores with the match finishing 1-1.

It was certainly a goal celebration that Ferroviario won't forget in a hurry.
