The incident, which has since gone viral across social media, occurred in the 83rd minute of the tightly contested match. With Spartak Kostroma leading, Mohammadi positioned himself for a throw-in deep in the opponent's half. Opting for his distinctive technique, he performed a full forward flip, launching the ball with immense power and precision deep into the penalty area. Teammate Sergey Bugriyov was on hand to meet the aerial delivery with a header, finding the back of the net to seal the 3-1 win for the away side.
Nader Mohammadi's Acrobatic Prowess
Mohammadi, who joined Spartak Kostroma on a free transfer in July 2026, has a background in gymnastics, which he credits for developing this extraordinary throw-in technique. This wasn't the first time he's deployed the flip throw; he's reportedly created more than 10 goals using the method throughout his career in Iran and previously attempted it in his debut for Spartak Kostroma on August 1 against Yenisey. However, this marked the first time it directly led to a goal for his new club, highlighting its potential as a genuine tactical weapon rather than just a spectacle.
