After getting married, most people are focused on celebrating or going on honeymoon, not playing soccer. 

Not Queensland Lions goalkeeper Luke Borean, however.

On Saturday Borean donned the gloves for his side's crucial National Premier League (NPL) semi-final just hours after tying the knot, driving straight from the wedding to the game.

Borean and his wife, Ellen Hepburn, left their wedding reception and drove to the AJ Kelly Park in the Brisbane suburbs in a Ferrari. Borean then played a crucial role in a 4-1 win over the Peninsula Power, while Hepburn watched from the sidelines in her wedding dress.

"There were definitely some open mouths — [the team] were genuinely shocked," Lions coach Darren Sime told ABC news.

"Obviously the club would never, ever stand in the way of a player's wedding. You have to celebrate those moments. But they chose to celebrate that moment with us, which we're really thankful for."

The club later added on Twitter: "Takes a special person to do this on your wedding day! Beanies off to Luke Borean for playing in tonight's semi final against Pen Power on his wedding day!"
