00:01You've seen some crazy moments in soccer, but have you ever seen the wind play defense?
00:06During a Japanese second division match, a player sends the ball flying forward,
00:11only for a powerful gust of wind to push it right back.
00:24Instead of traveling toward its intended target, the ball changes direction in midair.
00:30Turning a routine play into something completely bizarre.
00:33And this wasn't the only windy match in Japan.
00:36Recent J2 games have also been affected by extreme gusts.
00:40Apparently, sometimes the toughest opponent isn't the other team.
00:44It's mother nature.
00:45It's mother nature.
00:46¡Gracias!
