GOALS of the WEEK

HOOOLY COW was this week rich!!! I had to make a really painstaking effort in the goal selection, because at least half (I’m not kidding) the goals scored this week-end deserve a mention. I’ll put the entire list here, but give links to only the top 5 (you can look for the other ones yourselves). But boy… can Serie A be wonderful sometimes huh?  

First the no-link list:

• Di Natale‘s nice control and low finish (Udinese-Lazio)
• Kaká‘s left-footed instep volley (Roma-Milan)
• Giuly‘s sliced scissor-kick (Roma-Milan)
• Mutu‘s slamming finish from outside the box (Fiorentina-Genoa)
• Padoin‘s dribbled finish after a great backheel set-up (Atalanta-Empoli)
• Acquafresca‘s blast from 25 yards (Cagliari-Torino)
• Cozza‘s inswinging free-kick  (Reggina-Siena)

Now for the Top 5:

• Vidigal‘s drive to the top corner, keeper messes it up a bit (Livorno-Parma)
• Ledesma‘s one-time howitzer from 28m (min. 01:18) (Udinese-Lazio)
• Santana‘s outside-volley after a great Mutu scooped pass (offside though) (Fiorentina-Genoa)
• Palombo‘s powerful drive into the bottom-left corner, 30 yards out (min. 02:10) (Sampdoria-Catania)
• Vieira‘s headed finish after a great 1-2 with Ibrahimovic (Inter-Palermo)

This week, the goal-of-the-week award goes to Reginaldo. It was really difficult selecting a winner this week, plenty of talent everywhere. However this goal I think was exceptionally difficult to score, on account of the way the Brazilian winger strikes it: off balance & on the run. Yet he manages to put it where the keeper will never reach it. Top top stuff.

Also ironically, this is the only goal I could not find a decent link to. Maybe that will change in the next 24 hours (hoping a Parma supporter gets busy) but until then, scroll to minute 03:27 of the following:
