Walter Bou

Lanus vs. Tigre | August 4, 2024

This Argentinian top match seemed to be heading for a draw, with the score 2-2 and the clock ticking into the 90th minute. Lanus star Bou had other ideas, however, as he expertly controlled a hopeful ball with his chest before curling in a breathtaking overhead kick from 20 yards.

Michael Chirinos

Costa Rica vs Honduras | March 23, 2024

Chirinos' offense would have been a worthy candidate on its own, but the assist makes this even more special. Jerry Bengtson showed exceptional ingenuity to give his Honduras teammate a beautiful first pass with the outside of his boot. Chirinos' eyes lit up as he crashed a beautiful volley past Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas in this Concacaf Nations League play-off, which the hosts eventually won 3-1.

Federico Dimarco

The danger seemed minimal in this Serie A match when Dimarco delivered a pass wide on the left flank, just inside the opponent's half. However, the Italian saw Frosinone stopper Stefano Turati off his line and let fly with a spectacular lob that dived under the crossbar and left the keeper caught in thin air.

Everton vs Manchester United | November 26, 2023

Garnacho gasped at Everton's Goodison Park stadium as he opened the scoring for Manchester United in stunning fashion in this Premier League match.

Mohammed Kudus

West Ham United vs Freiburg | March 14, 2024

Kudus showed his electric qualities and scored a remarkable solo goal in this Europa League match.

Trabzonspor vs Konyaspor | November 10, 2023

Trabzonspor striker Onuachu settled this Turkish Super Lig match with an astonishing winner in the 85th minute.
