Move aside El Clasico, the most spectacular goal from this weekend's football came from the less celebrated African Youth Championship Final in Dakar.

The under-20 sides of Nigeria and Senegal did battle while most of the world was busy watching the titanic tussle between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in Spain. Step forward 19-year-old Nigerian, Bernard Bulbwa, to steal the show.

In a move that we're almost certain came down to pure luck – Bulbwa's failed Zlatan-esque heel flick looped the ball 15 feet into the air, where it fell perfectly for the midfielder to unleash a rip-roaring volley into the roof of the net from more than 20 yards.

You won't see another goal quite like it.
