I don’t post much sports on here, so when I do, you can be sure it’s worth a look. I cannot believe how incredible this goal was. Since I don’t follow Brazilian soccer, I’m taking all my info from this New York Times post on the subject, but I’ll summarize:
- That incredible striker is 30-year-old Edinaldo Batista Líbano, known as “Grafite”
- That was his second goal in three minutes, and it put his team up 5-1 with about 12 minutes to go
- This means his team has now won eight straight (nine unbeaten) putting them in a tie for first
- They’ve done it at least partly on Grafite’s league-leading 20 goals so far this year
But seriously — that was an incredible goal. Watch it again.
UPDATE: Original video was removed, so I’ve found a replacement. Ignore the first 10 seconds, which is an ad.
