wondergoal
Jaw-dropping goal scored
A wondergoal is an exceptional goal in soccer or other sports—one scored with remarkable skill, audacity, or sheer improbability.
The term celebrates goals that make spectators gasp: a bicycle kick from distance, a solo run through an entire defense, a perfectly curled free kick into the top corner.
That volley from thirty yards was an absolute wondergoal.
