Today’s best 50-yard rocket goal comes from Belgium

Jan Kruger

Meet Amido Baldé, a Portuguese youth international striker on loan at Waasland-Beveren from Celtic. He scored the winning goal in his club’s 4-1 win over Zulte-Waregem in the Belgian Pro League on Saturday, and it’s probably the best goal of his career. Just guessing, because this would be the best goal of just about anyone’s career. It’s just a 50-yard unsavable rocket of a half-volley into the top corner. Not bad, right?
