Wearing Indonesian red, but wearing long pants, he stood out

John F Kennedy once said: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," and one Indonesian soccer fan took that quote quite literally trying to help out his own national team.

With Indonesia trailing Oman 2-1 in extra time of their Asian Cup match, an irate home fan came onto the field, stole the ball from the players and went in to try and score himself.

Oman's laughing goalie played along and tried to stop the pitch invader, and it was no surprise that he kept the fan's barefooted shot out.

Security stopped the man, threw him to the ground then marched him off the pitch.

But he can tell himself he did what he could for his country.
