VIDEO: Andrea Pirlo tried something so Andrea Pirlo from a corner on Saturday night

Audacious

There’s a certain type of confidence that lets a player believe that they can score directly from a corner.

Andrea Pirlo is the epitome of such confidence and he tried to catch out San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper David Bingham during New York City’s 3-2 victory on Saturday night.

The Italian legend whipped in a vicious cross that clattered off the crossbar and while some cynics will say he was trying to find a teammate, we learned a long time ago not to question the genius of Andrea Pirlo.

Perhaps the MLS just isn’t ready for such a wondergoal and the football Gods intervened. Yeah, that’s it!
