    Here are a few videos from across the wide world of soccer that caught my attention over the past few days.

    Dutch treat

    The first of two great goals comes from Dutch star Wesley Sneijder, as the midfielder's stunning shot gave the Netherlands the lead in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Austria in a friendly.

    How Swede it is

    Meanwhile, Swedish strikers Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Johan Elmander combined for a sweet goal in their side's 1-1 draw with Ukraine on Wednesday in Nicosia, Cyprus.

    Ibrahimovic provided the flick and Elmander came up with the strike that caught the cameraman off guard – you'll need to watch the replay to see the quality.

    Seeing red

    How about this? A coach and team work all week on a gameplan, only to see it all go out the window in the match's opening seconds.

    That was the case for Ebbsfleet United, which plays in England's Conference South – a semi-pro division five levels below the Premier League.

    A poor backpass led to goalkeeper Preston Edwards taking out Farnborough's Kezie Ibe, conceding a penalty kick and being red carded just 10 seconds in.

    To make matters worse, Ebbsfleet didn't have a substitute goalkeeper on the bench and had to play a midfielder in goal the rest of the match, a 3-0 loss.

    A wonderful memory

    And finally, here's one of the most heartwarming goals you'll ever see.

    Last weekend's Louisiana high school tournament game between Lafayette and Pineville was a complete mismatch. But despite the 8-1 scoreline, it was a night to remember for both teams.

    With about 15 minutes remaining, Pineville brought on senior Ross Barron. He's widely regarded as the team's most dedicated player, someone who cherishes every moment he's on the field. Barron also has Down syndrome.

    His teammates and the Lafayette players wanted to send Barron out on a high note. He took his chance well, and walked off the field with the memory of a lifetime.
