Superb goals in the 2017/18 season

[KGR]

Thread for us to share and enjoy glorious goals that you otherwise may not have noticed.

Let's try and keep it on-topic and have it for this season.

I shall start with Kemar Lawrence, for Jamaica v Mexico in the Gold Cup semi-final. Only a winning goal, and a shock result, to boot.

You like a free-kick? How about Cristian Ganea, Viitorul Constanța 1-0 APOEL Nicosia CL qualifying, 26/07/2017.

I can even forgive the goalie's squad number.

Well worth watching through for all of the replays. Tournoi-esque.

(Oh, and being able to insert videos. It needs saying again, snake plissen, you are a hero).

Another free kick, from last night's CL qualifier where Hagi's Viitorul Constanta beat APOEL 1-0 thanks to this

Bollocks beaten to it. Still watch it again everyone

Great minds, ad hoc, great minds.

Goal from 70 metres by Holstein Kiel (newly-promoted to the 2. Bundesliga) against HSV in their 5-3 pre-season win.

Bruno Henrique for Santos last night against Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil. Santos won 4-2 but Flamengo go through to the semi-finals on away goals.

Seeing a Jamaica player with the name 'Lowe' on his jersey made me think "Oh, is Onandi Lowe still playing?". Turns out it's Damion Lowe, Onandi's son. Christ, I'm old.

Thanks! That sounds quite complicated so I don't feel so stupid now.

I shall wait for a golaço and give it a try.

Rivaldinho for Dinamo Bucuresti

Blimey, he never did anything like that in Brazil (though he did once score in the same game as his father playing for Mogi Mirim). I'm puzzled how, after 35 games in 3 years for very minor clubs he managed to get himself a move to Dinamo Bucuresti. Though, if that video is anything to go by, they've made a very smart purchase.

Just so this thread doesn't get forgotten, here's the best goal of the weekend from Brazil. Rodriguinho for Corinthians, who have now completed the first half of the season undefeated and are 8 points clear at the top.

Thanks 3CR. As you can see, your advice worked.

Vinícius Júnior scored his first league goals for Flamengo last night. (He'd previously scored in the Copa Sul-americana).

I think we can safely say that the lad has some pace.

And here's his second.

Scottish football is rubbish, says pundits.

Greg Docherty's assist.

[Janik]

Ropey as fuck anything defensively by Hibs, but well exploited by Hamilton. What was the left side centre-back doing joining two others in closing down the player on the edge of the box when that meant leaving his man completely free??

That Accies change kit is shocking.

Ignacio Scocco - yes, that one - has been having a slightly better time since he returned to his homeland from Sunderland. On Sunday he scored a lovely free kick to put River Plate 1-0 up, and a few minutes later he did this.

The loop is from the deflection it takes off the left thigh/knee area of the defender who tries to close it down (#21). Very dubious the shot goes in without that, and it certainly doesn't rise so high or dip so quickly without the topspin gained by the glancing blow. See also Andre Schurrle's winner at Cologne this Sunday.

Bah. Well spotted though!
