Wonder goal, and some 40 yard strikes for good measure

Simply outstanding. Mesmerising. Out of this world. Shot slash cross. Fluke. Just some of the many descriptions echoing round the online football community about this goal. You can see it below for yourself, but I think you'd agree it is something quite special. Scoring in last night’s game between Orebro and IFK Gothenburg in Sweden, Andres Vasquez thought he'd audaciously try a Maradona/Rabona from 20 yards (as you do).

And whether through luck or pure genius, the boy actually pulled it off, scoring a 20 yard wonder goal that will surely never be equalled. And just for good measure, he thought he would then go on a TV show and prove it was no fluke. Incredible! Surely lightning can't strike twice.



The goal comes after a string of recent amazing strikes that were bought to our attention again from those boys at 101 goals.

This wonder strike from Christian Vieri, where he lobs the keeper after volleying from 40 yards out was again pretty insane.

And keeping on the 40 yard theme, there was Martin Palermo's Beckham-esque strike for Boca Juniors in February. Both cheeky and spectacular!

We say let the goals keep flooding in. Why not tell us which strike you think is best? TTIAO loves the Rabona. Expect Cristiano to be trying to pull this one out sometime in the near future.
