Video: This monster 50-yard volley from Mexico is the most insane goal you’ll see this week

Rogelio Chavez of Cruz Azul has just booked his spot in the Puskas Award nominee list with this effort.

Rogelio Chavez of Cruz Azul has just booked his spot in the Puskas Award nominee list with this effort.

This is a nailed on certainty to be in all the goal of the year round-ups come December. Scored by Rogelio Chavez, a defender for Cruz Azul against Queretaro in the Mexican Premier League at the weekend, we can safely say we have never seen a goal like it.

From a throw-in near the halfway line, Chavez lashes an enormous looped volley in the general direction of the opposition net but a combination of skill, luck, the wind and possibly a dodgy keeper sees the ball incredibly cross the line.

Skip to 1.30 in the below video to have the normal view of it…

But this behind the goal view is even better…

Unbelievable Jeff and it sealed a 3-1 win for his side in the 89th minute.
