WENDELL LIRA’S GOAL against Atletico-GO (see above) has upset Lionel Messi’s strike (see below) to win the 2015 Puskas Award for best goal.
The Brazilian journeyman, who was playing for Goianesia at the time, also overcame competition from Alessandro Florenzi, whose fantastic strike for Roma against Barcelona (see below) was nominated alongside Messi and Lira.
The Puskas Award, which Ireland’s Stephanie Roche was nominated for last year, is decided by a public vote.
Well done to the girls. Great to see. Katie is phenomenal!
What a class Ireland team they are. Would love to see them play the men’s team. They’d wipe the floor of them.
@✨Barbara Christopher: ha ha yeah don’t mention they were beaten by Denmark Belgium Iceland Slovakia Germany women’s teams in the past year but now that they have beaten the worst opposition in the group they are better than the man’s team hah hah hah keep. On truckin
@Dave Hammond: And what about the list of countries the men were beaten by? You forgot that!!!
