Wonder goal from Cyprus
Filed Under General | Leave a Comment
Who’s up for a truly sweet goal? This edition comes from the Cyprus league, where Apollon Limassol player Gaston Sangoy scored directly from the corner-kick in his team’s 4-0 victory over APEP Kyperounda. The goal was his 11th of the season, and beefs up his resume quite nicely.
This is not exactly the first time someone has scored from a corner-kick, but too often those have been freak accidents, which have left the player even more surprised that it went in than the goalkeeper. Here, though, the goal is of especially high quality, and curves beautifully across the goal before it ends up in the roof of the net. It’s one you can watch over and over without getting tired. The uploader of the video seems to agree, and you can see various replays in various colors of the goal.
Sangoy is still fairly young at 25 years old, and was born in Argentina. He has never received an international call-up, however, which is probably due to the fact he is playing in such an unglamorous league. Which is a shame, since such a high-class goal belongs at the World Cup.
It also highlights the problems the Argentinean and Brazilian managers have of keeping track of their players. They have so much talent everywhere around Europe, playing some high quality stuff even in the smaller leagues, it’s practically impossible to keep track of everyone. Makes them two of the toughest managerial jobs in the world, as I’m sure Maradona and Dunga would agree.
