Striker scores unbelievable goal from own half

Striker scores unbelievable goal from own half

The first matchday of the FFA Cup round of 32 dished up plenty of goals, but none were more spectacular than Blacktown City striker Danny Choi’s 70-metre effort.

With his side locked at 2-2 in extra time against Sydney United 58, Choi latched onto a loose ball just outside his own goal box and launched an audacious shot up the other end of the pitch.

United’s goalkeeper wheeled around to try and stop the ball, but could only watch in amazement as the speculative long-range strike sailed into the net.

The superb effort sparked an extra time goal-fest, with Blacktown going on to win the match 6-2.
