Sporting Lisbon against Benfica is one of the big ties on the sporting calendar in Lisbon, and this game certainly did not disappoint after a goal of this quality from Benfica, which gave them a 2-0 win.

Some magnificent skill from Manchester United target Nicolas Gaitan to turn three players led to some intricate play around the box, before a perfectly placed cross was met with a sensational volley by Lima.

The video has the full highlights of the match, so skip ahead to 3:56 to see the build up and goal.

This type of high quality technical play reminds us of JOE’s weekly five-a-side, which is truly a great spectacle to behold.
