The Italian Cristiano Biraghi delighted all football fans on Monday after scoring a great goal from behind the midfield in the victory of his Fiorentina team 3-0 over Hellas Verona on matchday 24 of Serie A.

With the game defined around the 89th minute thanks to goals from the Brazilian Arthur Cabral and Antonin Barak, everything seemed to end with the score 2-0, but a foul on his teammate Rolando Mandragora in midfield it changed everything.

During the discussion between the Hellas Verona players for the foul sentenced by the referee, Biraghi set the ball on the ground and without mediation launched a shot from more than 63 yards towards the goal.

To everyone’s surprise, the ball surpassed goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo due to its power and ended up scoring one of the best goals of the day in European football.

The great goal has been the farthest that has been scored in Serie A since 10 years ago, in 2013, the Argentine Facundo Roncaglia scored (also in favor of Fiorentina) against Napoli from almost 70 yards.

At that time, Roncaglia tried to put the ball into the area to assist his striker, but a miscalculation by the rival goalkeeper caused the ball to end up inside the net.
