Woe
betide those who were five minutes late at the Metalist Stadium last
night. They would have seen on the scoreboard that the hosts, FC
Metalist Kharkiv, were already ahead against Rosenborg BK in UEFA Europa
League Group K, but that did not tell the whole story. And why did the
rest of the 34,235 crowd have an expression of utter wonderment?
Taison is the reason. The Brazilian forward had just treated them to this, dispatching Fininho's hopeful, apparently harmless, long ball from the left into the top-right corner with an incredible first-time volley from the acutest of angles. Even Taison, 24, could not believe what he had done, clutching his head and shrugging his shoulders as the stadium, eventually, bounced.
"It was the goal of the year, maybe," said midfielder Bořek Dočkal, whose Rosenborg side went on to lose 3-1. "Goal of the century, I don't know. It was so amazing!" The sentiment was shared worldwide, including in the Netherlands where the Telegraaf conceded that Marco van Basten's famous goal in the 1988 UEFA European Championship final may have finally been equalled.
For highlights of all of Thursday's UEFA Europa League goals, including four for Edinson Cavani and one direct from a corner by Joey Barton,
