Stephanie Roche, eat your heart out

Move over Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, there’s a new scorpion king in town.

The goal of the season might have been scored in the Hungarian second division.

Two behemoths of world football, Gyirmot and Bekescsaba, played out a 2-2 draw. As expected from a match of this magnitude, it wasn’t without its talking points. The main one being Birtalan Botond’s stunning scorpion kick wondergoal from the edge of the box.

Botond got on the end of an awkward cross from the wing to find the net with an absolute beauty of a strike. With one flick of the heel he generated the perfect amount of power to delicately lob the keeper.

Next stop, Puskas award.
