So without further ado, here’s a look at five of the most jaw-dropping goals in the 2021-22 season of the Hero Indian Super League.
5. Greg Stewart vs Odisha FC
The Scotsman has been a key player in Jamshedpur FC’s league shield triumph and this goal proves what exactly the man is capable of. Getting the ball from 30-yards out, Greg Stewart turned on his favorite right foot and bent one for the far corner leaving the Odisha side stunned.
4. Adrian Luna vs FC Goa
Adrian Luna had earned himself a reputation for scoring long-range bangers and this one against FC Goa is a perfect example of it. Picking up the ball from the 35-yards out, Luna simply tuned his body towards goal and stuck underneath the ball which dipped and hit the post before going into the top right corner. The strike was hit so precisely that despite the keeper having a good eye on the ball, he could not do anything to stop it from going in.
3. Mirlan Murzaev vs Odisha FC
The striker from Kyrgyzstan took the ball in his stride down the right wing and just as he was about to enter the box, he hit it with the lace of his shoe with immense power and the ball wiggled its way past the Odisha FC goalkeeper. If the goal wasn’t entertaining enough, the celebration definitely was!
2. Ahmed Jahouh vs Odisha FC
Have you ever played FIFA and tried to bend the ball in the top corner right from the edge of the box? This Ahmed Jahouh goal felt like that one! Gabriel Cassio rolled the ball towards Jahouh who picked his spot and just calmly let the ball fly into the top right corner.
1. Khassa Camara vs FC Goa
NorthEast United and FC Goa were 1-1 going into stoppage time and usually, in these circumstances, you would look for tap-ins to finish off the game but Khassa Camara had different plans. Deshorn Brown saw Camara unmarked in the middle of the pitch and layed it off for him. Camara, knowing where the goal was let fly from mid-range with power, and the ball just went through the keeper giving NorthEast United a valuable win.
