Steven Skrzybski scores lowest xG probability goal EVER
Steven Skrzybski made history on Saturday, scoring the least likely goal since data collection began as Holstein Kiel beat Paderborn 2-1.
Robert Leipertz had given Paderborn a 12th-minute lead at the Holstein-Stadion, one which was cancelled out by Borussia Dortmund's on-loan left-back Tom Rothe just past the half hour.

But Skrzybski had the final say with little more than an hour gone, and how. The former Union Berlin and Schalke man spotted Jannik Huth off his line and lobbed him from just beyond the halfway line.
His goal had an xG of just 0.03, making it the lowest probability goal scored since detailed data collection began.
It was also Skrzybski's 50th goal in Bundesliga 2 (21 of Kiel, 29 for Union).
