A dream goal is usually characterized by the fact that a goal is scored from an impossible situation, and it’s even a spectacular one.
A Costa Rican managed to do this last night, but he chose perhaps the “simplest” method for the goal.
With this stylish bicycle kick, Francisco Calvo scored the 4-1 winning goal for his country against Nicaragua.
The trained central defender (!?) reacted lightning-fast, because he probably had to: With a header, it would be difficult against two defenders on the line, so a shot was necessary.
The goal was also practical in a double sense. With the clear victory, Costa Rica climbed to second place in their World Cup qualifying group and increased their chances of being in the finals next summer.
