Euro 2020 is a feast for own-goal purists.

The tournament already counts nine own goals - the same number that was tallied across the previous 15 European Championships - and it's only at the round of 16.

Here, theScore picks out the five funniest own goals so far at Euro 2020.

5. Kucka's calamity

Spain sought a morale-boosting scoreline to cap its progression to the knockout rounds, and Juraj Kucka was willing to help out. The Slovakian midfielder tried to shovel the ball away but diverted it into his own net via his shin and foot.

4. Disorientated Demiral

Merih Demiral hinted at what was to come for a hapless Turkey side at Euro 2020 with the tournament's first goal. There was little pressure from the Italy attack, but the defender knocked the ball in off his chest.

3. Hawk-eyed Hummels

Mats Hummels displayed pinpoint precision during Germany's group-stage encounter with France when he picked out the top corner, denying the lurking Kylian Mbappe an easy tap-in.

2. Sleepy Simon

Unai Simon ignited a madcap last-16 affair between Spain and Croatia with an inexcusable error. Pedri was given the own goal for his skipping pass, but accusatory fingers were largely pointed toward the Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper.

1. Dunkin' Dubravka

What was he doing? Martin Dubravka sullied his fine start to Slovakia's group meeting with Spain with one of the most confusing few seconds ever witnessed at a European Championship. The ball needed to be flicked over the bar, but the 'keeper inexplicably palmed it into his goal. A disaster.
