We know it’s an unusual question but the answer to it is quite simple as we’ve all seen weirder things happen in life.
Still, in that beautiful world of school football – shooting once and scoring twice is considered a sort of a miracle!
Just have a look at this video below where a boy prepares to take an obviously decisive penalty shot when he drives the ball in the back of the net and sends his boot flying towards the basket.
It’s not difficult to guess what happened next.
Fantastic stuff.
Scoring twice with one shot.

Liverpool have so far made only one addition to their squad this summer; defender Ibrahima Konate has arrived from RB Leipzig. Meanwhile, the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United have spent vast amounts of money on players like Jack Grealish, Romelu Lukaku and Jadon Sancho.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp says his club could never compete with those clubs in terms of spending.
Whoever we buy, there is no guarantee we would be ahead of Manchester City they can strike back buy two or three
Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool cannot compare their transfer business to other clubs and likens it to an anecdote of people s love lives

AS Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic has welcomed reports linking him with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Bosnian is reportedly one of the first names on PSG s hit-list as boss Laurent Blanc is desperate to sign a high-profile midfielder in January.
And while Pjanic is currently happy at Roma, he has admitted that a move to Parc des Princes is a realistic possibility.
“I am glad to hear that. Paris, it is the only club where I would go if I was to return to France,” Pjanic confessed to Telefoot.
“I am at Roma, a great club, I feel comfortable here. If I really had to leave, it would be to go to a place that I like.”
It was in French Ligue 1 that the Bosnian made a name for himself, making a total of 132 Ligue 1 appearances for Metz and L…
Montpellier only need to avoid defeat at already-relegated Auxurre to claim an historic maiden Ligue 1 title Sunday.
The league leaders go into the final round of games with a three-point lead over Paris Saint-Germain and know a draw at cellar-dwellers Auxurre will be enough to clinch the title.
However, if Montpellier loses, it opens the door for PSG, who would then need to beat relegation-threatened Lorient to pinch the trophy.
With so much at stake and arguably Montpellier s biggest match in their history, manager Rene Girard is remaining focused, insisting his side prepared the same way they have all season.
We tried to prepare this game like any other game, even if it s not an ordinary game. But we did not change our preparation. We know it s diffi…
Neymar has joined the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Samuel Eto o and Rivaldo in Barcelona s 100 club after scoring against Granada.
The forward completed a century of Barca goals in his 177th match for the club during Sunday s game at Los Carmenes, netting in stoppage time to put the seal on a 4-1 win.
Neymar is the third Brazilian player to reach the milestone with the Catalan giants, following in the footsteps of Rivaldo and Evaristo.
He joins stars of Barca s past and present on the prestigious list of players to have reached the milestone, one which is topped by team-mate Messi, who is closing in on the 500-mark.
The other member of Barca s MSN strikeforce, Suarez, also made it to 100 in January.

Sunderland have approached Preston North End s Simon Grayson in the search for a new manager at the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats were relegated from the Premier League last season after numerous years of top-flight struggle prompting David Moyes to resign after a year in charge.
A Deepdale statement read: Preston North End have been contacted by Sunderland Football Club to ask permission to speak to Simon Grayson in relation to their vacant managerial position.
Having spoken to Simon, he has asked permission to speak to the Black Cats and therefore the club had no option but to allow these conversations to take place, with a compensation package already guaranteed in his contract.
Former Blackpool, Leeds United and Huddersfield Town boss Grayson has…
Manchester United s poor start to the season continued as they crashed out of the EFL Cup with a penalty shoot-out defeat at home to Derby County.
Paul Pogba watched on from the stands but again found himself as the centre of attention after manager Jose Mourinho confirmed reports which emerged earlier on Tuesday – that the France midfielder had been stripped of United s vice captaincy.
Mourinho insisted there was no problem between the duo but his latest move has been widely viewed as a powerplay to reassert his authority over an ailing squad.
Increasingly, it appears something has to give, but in whom should the Old Trafford hierarchy invest their hopes of future success? The World Cup-winning record signing or the serial trophy winner charged with restoring…
A clinical Croatia have hammered Turkey 3-0 in their Euro 2012 playoff first leg, while Republic of Ireland thrashed Estonia on Friday.
Hosts Turkey saw the majority of possession in Istanbul, but goals from Ivica Olic, Mario Mandzukic and Vedran Corluka gave Slaven Bilic s side a stranglehold on the tie.
Olic tapped into an open net after Corluka s cut-back on two minutes, and Mandzukic doubled their advantage after half an hour when he headed in Luka Modric s floated cross.
Turkey failed to break down a solid Croatian defence and the visitors made it 3-0 when Corluka headed in Darijo Srna s free-kick from the right.
Meanwhile, Ireland secured a resounding 4-0 away win over nine-man Estonia in Tallinn.
Robbie Keane s brace, along with goals from…
Can Paris Saint-Germain get back on track? Are champions Lille in contention again? Could any top French sides face the drop?
Stats Perform aims to answer all of these questions and more as the new Ligue 1 season gets under way.
The Stats Perform League Prediction Model, created by Stats Perform AI using Opta data, has analysed the division ahead of the new season to assign percentages to potential outcomes for each club.
The model estimates the probability of each match outcome (win, draw or loss) based on teams attacking and defensive qualities, which considers four years worth of results, with weighting based on recency and the quality of opposition. The season is then simulated 10,000 times to calculate the likelihood of each outcome.

data-mm-id=”_94qd35lxk”>Throughout his time as NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver has built a nearly-infallible reputation both within the league and in public perception. According to ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, that persona will be put to the test over the coming weeks. Appearing on Golic and Wingo, Wojnarowski discussed some of the tougher decisions Silver faces in the coming weeks as the NBA tries to figure out how/if it can resume its season following the coronavirus shutdown. Silver was praised for his decisive decision to shut the league down after Rudy Gobert tested positive (the NBA was the first major professional sports league in the US to halt play), but he could ruffle some feathers when he announces how the league will resume, so saith Woj. “He’s going to start ma…
