What a brilliant execution of a very difficult piece of skill, the lack of distance to get this right is what makes this especially good for me

It's a great goal but you'll have to forgive my ignorance I have never heard of Rabona before where does that phrase originate?

What a goal! I don't want to sound mean but he'll never score another like that.

One of his team mates reactions is priceless, he seems so far in shock and delight that he barely joins in celebrating. Awesome goal! I wonder if some league teams will be curious about looking at him.

The term Rabona, in Spanish  means to play 'hooky' from school and due to crossing of the legs behind one another in a hooked fashion when striking the ball it was once said and it has forever stuck
