VIDEO: Belgian U19 lobs the ‘keeper from his own half with a strike Beckham could only dream of

What's the Dutch for golazo?

Conan Doherty

Why the hell was he shooting?

That’s what separates the good from the extraordinary. And the extraordinary from the downright ridiculous. The audacity of it all.

This lad hits that ball 10 times, he misses most of them. That’s why you celebrate it when it comes off. That’s what makes something special.

In fairness though, Marco Weymans’ strike was as sweet as a nut that you’d nearly back him to do this again straight away.

Belgium U19s saw off Sweden 2-0 in the UEFA U19 Championship at the weekend and the PSV teenager’s late goal – from his own half – was just something to be behold.

He’s only 17 and we can definitely say this for him, his left foot is better than David Beckham’s.

Check out this crazy goal.
