An incredible goal was scored in the Saudi Pro League on Tuesday. The goal was so spectacular that it honestly deserves an award. The exact title this goal deserves will go unnamed as I hate to admit that I have mentioned it one too many times.
The18 definitely didn’t namedrop this award with potential candidates only one month into 2021 multiple times. Totally didn’t do that, or this one.
This time around there won’t be any speculation or predicting whether or not this goal is worth of a trophy. Instead, let’s just watch a brilliant strike.
Absolutely ridiculous. I’m not sure if there’s even a button on FIFA 21 that you can press to score a goal like that. The goal scorer’s name is Fábio Martins. His goal secured a point for his club, Al-Shabab, which now sits second in the Saudi Pro League.
Martins received high praise across the soccer sphere for his strike. Several outlets uttered a word that I am strictly forbidden to say.
Just scrap this year's Puskás Award, there’s no point

Only time will tell if Martins will claim said award. The Al-Shabab winger has already bagged one award this year after being named the club’s “Lion of the Month.”
Extremamente feliz por vencer o Lion of the Month.
É muito gratificante para mim receber este prémio, porque independentemente do campeonato, sempre fui fiel ao futebol e sempre quis jogar com a mesma vontade de quando era criança.

Who needs a Puskás award when you’re the Lion of the Month?
Doh! Almost made it a full article without saying Puskás.
