You must have stepped out at the wrong times. On at least 2 occasions that I saw, soccer balls were launched diagonally into the first couple rows of the stands accidentally.
On another occasion, in a very close fought match, a ball was fired out of bounds, rebounded off a referee's stomach, then went into the goal.
On yet another occasion during the playoffs, an autonomous ball got caught in the side-netting near the goal. The referee pushed it out of the netting and it dropped onto the field and hit a ball that was rolling into the goal, preventing it from scoring.
It was just SO competitive out there that you noticed all the little wierd things because single points counted for so much.
