Best corner goal ever? Damian Diaz scores stunner for Barcelona SC | OneFootball

Barcelona SC got off to a winning start in their Copa Sudamericana campaign as they defeated Wanderers on Thursday evening.

Goals from Gonzalo Mastriani (2), Michael Carcelen and Damian Diaz gave the Ecuadorian side a 4-2 win over their Uruguayan opponents.

The best of the goals was undoubtedly scored by Diaz.

Barcelona SC were leading 3-1 when they were given a corner in the 54th minute.

Diaz, their 35-year-old captain, went over to the corner to take it.

The midfielder looked up and spotted the opposing goalkeeper, Ignacio De Arruabarrena, off his line.

Diaz then attempted an audacious effort at goal with the outside of his right-foot.

Amazingly, he managed to catch De Arruabarrena out and found the net.

That is just outrageous from Diaz.

Per the xG philosophy, the goal was scored from 0.00xG (Rounded to two decimal places). That basically means the chances of Diaz finding the net was virtually impossible.

The veteran midfielder then turned to the crowd and waved in the knowledge that he had just done something truly ridiculous.

Of course, if the goalkeeper hadn’t gone through such a lapse of concentration, the goal would never have been possible.

But Diaz still deserves so much credit to see the ‘keeper off his line and have the skill to find the back of the net.

His goal has gone viral and you can view some reaction below…

Diaz has had a decent football career.

Born in Argentina, Diaz started his career with Rosario Central in 2007.

He has gone on to represent Boca Juniors, Universidad Católica, Colon and Al Wahda. He joined Barcelona SC for his second spell in 2016 and has spent the last six years at the club.
