Madruga’s goal from the penalty area is recognized by FIFA as the most beautiful goal of the year
Midfielder of the Brazilian Botafogo Guillermo Madruga won the Puskas Prize, which the International Football Federation (FIFA) awards to the author of the most beautiful goal at the end of the year. The Match TV channel will broadcast the ceremony taking place in London live.
The Brazilian scored in the match of the 14th round of the Brazilian Serie B against Novorizontino. The player, being outside someone else’s penalty area with his back to the goal, struck with a biscuit and hit the target.
Paraguayan Julio Enciso from Brighton and Portuguese player from Sporting Nuno Santos also competed for the Puskás Prize.
Earlier, FIFA named the best player and coach for the year. The awards were received by Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi and Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, respectively.
