Never thought this would happen at an S-League match
Never mind Goal of the Season, is this the best S.League goal ever?
Or could it be Singapore’s first-ever entry for Fifa’s Goal of the Year?
If you have missed it, go to the Great Eastern-Yeo’s S.League Facebook page or search for Fabian Kwok on YouTube.
Then, just sit back and marvel at the 25-year-old Geylang International midfielder’s 32nd-minute equaliser against Albirex Niigata on Thursday night.
The White Swans may have won 4-2 — with Kwok also laying on the assist for Geylang’s other goal through Ridhuan Muhd — but all the buzz has been about Kwok’s magical strike.
While Albirex goalkeeper Kazuki Kishigami’s clearance from Kento Fujihara’s back-pass was poor, it did reach the centre circle, only to find Kwok, who reacted with a thumping first-time volley that sailed into the top-left corner.
The best part? He intended it.
