This fiery soccer goal must be seen to be believed
A pair of teammates from Brazil combined to score a soccer goal Tuesday night. Now it's Wednesday afternoon, and haven't stopped watching the highlight since.
What we have here, folks, is the exceedingly rare double bicycle kick connection.
The highlight play, embedded atop this post, features midfielder Bruno Silva and striker Roger of the Rio de Janeiro-based Brazilian club Botafogo. That's Silva with the assist and Roger with the finish.
Botafogo beat Argentine side Estudiantes 2-1 in the Tuesday night Cope Libertadores match, but it's surely that connection between Silva and Roger that fans will remember best.
