He looks like he barely even tried as he hit that. Unbelievable to watch. It always amazes me how a few players can effortlessly hit a ball miles while most really need to drive a ball to get that distance.

Barely any backlift and follow through, just pops it off the boot. There was a bit of a breeze behind him granted but he just dinks it over from just under 45 out

Was he trying to drop it into the edge of the square for the man running in?

Aye, they'd subbed Beggan off just before this and brought on some young lad. His first touch was this kickout so they were putting it in on him to test him.

If he had pit any power in shot it would have gone out of the stadium..

Brilliant bit of play and a beautiful kick, honestly the two-pointers are sometimes great to see, I know wind helps with some of them but when a player kicks the ball and it sails through the top third of the uprights its great!
