Lisandro Lopez should be very proud of what he did near the end of Racing's 1-1 tie against Independiente in the Argentinean first division. You see, it didn't look like it would be a tie. Independiente were up 1-0 until Lopez ripped a 90th minute bicycle kick equalizer into the back of the net.
There are lots of ways to score a 90th minute equalizer. All of them are nice. Every 90th minute equalizer is its own special snowflake of a goal. It means more than a regular goal, because of the timing and effect on the match.
If we were to choose a dream way to score a 90th minute equalizer, though, we would choose a bicycle kick. Lisandro Lopez did.

Now we move on to the goalie. The poor goalie, there wasn't much he could do about that strike. Unfortunately, the thing he decided to do was stand there with his hand in the air like he's hailing a damn taxi. The Internet did not take too kindly to this behavior, and memed him immediately.

Let this be a lesson to you goalkeepers out there: try not to let in 90th minute equalizers, but if you do, don't get memed immediately afterwards.
