Question is an own goal just a mistake by the defending team?
Or could it be considered a great play by the attacking team? Because when you put a lot of offensive pressure on the defensive team. They are more likely to make a mistake that can lead to an own goal by the defensive team
Both can happen. For instance this world cup own goal was just idiotic, while it led to the trajic murder of the player if that was actually why he was killed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFjke_ahBYY
The Brazil own goal at the start of this cup suits the latter more imo.
