No, but it could help explain the second goal. I watched the replay a bunch of times and I have NEVER seen a soccer ball move like that one did without any spin to speak of.

no, that's not the reason. One of the goals was from a header from like 10 yards out and another one was from a failure to clear the ball out successfully. Both of those goals were caused by poor defense.
