The AFC Champions League is definitely having a great week as one of the best goals of the season finally made its appearance.
Shandong Luneng took on Thailand’s Buriram United on their home ground at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium and the atmosphere certainly favoured the Orangionnaires as they defeated Alexandre Gama’s men to 3-0.
Mano Menezes’ men broke the nil in the second half when Brazilian Diego Tardelli scored in the 65th minute, the crowd cheered loudly when his compatriot Jucilei extended the lead to 2-0 during the 81st minute but it was an act five minutes later that made the Chinese side took the decibels up several notches.
Zhao Mingjian, whom eventually scored the final goal of the game and for the club, displayed a stunning performance when he scored a beautiful trivela, or better known as a ‘curl’ for the club. The goal was instantly dubbed ‘goal of the season’ after the match.
