An absolutely unbelievable goal marked the Argentine League and ended up winning the Puskás Prize 2025. Santiago Montiel was the scorer of a bicycle kick from outside the area that went around the world and earned Independiente a 1-0 victory against Independiente Rivadavia.
The move took place in an Argentine championship match and decided the match in spectacular fashion. The 24-year-old winger scored his first goal of the season, in a moment that quickly became viral on social media.
The quality and rarity of the shot led FIFA to award the goal this Tuesday with the Puskás Award, awarded to the best goal of the year, consecrating Montiel in the international football scene.
