Before kick-off

A TikTok trend, tagged #mesutozilai, where people put themselves in Mesut Özil’s place for one of his best-known goals: the chip over the keeper, the wait on the line while two defenders slide past, and the calm finish. Most people make it with a CapCut template. TryOzilGoalAI makes the full 15-second version from one photo of you.

Mesut Özil’s goal for Arsenal against Ludogorets in the 2016 Champions League group stage. He chipped the keeper, went round him, waited while two defenders slid past into the net, and rolled the ball in. Your video follows the same five beats in a stadium generated fresh for you.

A 15-second vertical 9:16 MP4 of you scoring the goal in five beats: you run onto a through ball as the keeper rushes out, chip it over him with the outside of the boot, go round him and take it on the bounce, wait as two defenders slide past into the net, then roll it into the empty net and turn to the crowd with arms wide. No watermark. Each video is a fresh AI render, so the crowd and small moves vary from one to the next.

Yes. The model makes the stadium sound for each video: the crowd, the ball and the net. There’s no commentary and no music, so you can add your own track when you post.

No. TryOzilGoalAI is an independent fan tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Mesut Özil, Arsenal, UEFA or any club, league, broadcaster or CapCut. The stadium, the kits, the players and the crowd are generated fresh. No match footage is used, and nobody’s face appears but yours.

One clear, front-facing photo of one person, in good light. A plain selfie is perfect. Avoid group shots, sunglasses, masks and heavy filters. A photo that shows your top half also shows the model what you’re wearing.

It comes down to the photo. The model rebuilds your face from it in every shot, so a blurry, dark or side-on photo is what makes the face drift. Use one sharp photo of your face toward the camera in even light. The wide shots of the run are far from the camera; the face is clearest at the end, when you turn to the crowd.

Whatever you wear in your photo. There’s no kit picker: a hoodie scores in a hoodie, a suit scores in a suit. If you want to play in a football shirt, take the photo in one. The keeper and defenders wear plain kits with no badges.

Yes, if they’ve agreed to it and you have the right to use the photo. No celebrities, footballers or public figures, and nobody under 18.

No. The video is made for people only. The model needs a human face and body to play the goal.

Usually because there’s no clear face in it, or because the video model turned it down: photos of famous players, other famous people or anyone under 18 can’t be used. Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP photo of one person facing the camera, under 10 MB. If a video fails, it goes back into your pack automatically.

About 3 minutes. You can close the tab while it renders: we email you when it’s ready, and it waits for you in My videos.

Yes. The video is 9:16 with no watermark, made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Tag it #mesutozilai to join the trend. Don’t present it as real match footage.

No. The beats, the stadium and the timing are built in. You upload one photo and press Make my video. If you want to try another tool, the prompt page has a free starter prompt.

No. The CapCut template is a free way to join the trend inside the CapCut app. This is a separate web tool that makes the full 15-second goal from one photo, with stadium sound, in about 3 minutes. Neither one is official.

Two videos are $9.90, six are $19.90 and ten are $29.90. Each is a 15-second vertical video. A Standard 480p video uses 1 video from the pack, HD 720p uses 2. You pay once: there’s no subscription.

Not here: every video is a real render, so there are no free credits or trial videos. The free routes are the CapCut template, or copying the free starter prompt from the prompt page into the free tier of an AI video tool. Free tiers usually come with limits such as watermarks, shorter clips or a few retries.

No. Unused videos stay in your pack with no time limit, and finished videos stay in My videos until you delete them.

It goes back into your pack automatically. Nothing to claim and no one to email. Try again, usually with a clearer photo.

Yes, within 14 days of purchase if you haven’t used any videos from the pack: email us from the address on your account. Failed videos go back into your pack automatically, without asking.

Checkout is handled by Stripe, with card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. We never see or store your card number.

Nothing is charged unless Stripe confirms the payment. If you paid and then closed the page, the videos are still added to your account: refresh the page or open My videos. If you closed it before paying, buy the pack again from Pricing whenever you like.

It’s used only to make your video and is deleted automatically 7 days after upload. Your finished videos stay in your account until you delete them.

No. No celebrities, footballers or public figures, and no one under 18. Only upload photos of yourself or someone who has agreed to it, and that you have the rights to use.
