Cameroon’s Vincent Aboubakar softly chipped a ball over Serbia’s goalkeeper for a stunning World Cup goal

Is this the goal of the 2022 World Cup so far? Because we’ve seen some stunners so far, including the Brazil bicycle kick.

This one is less flashy, but it’s unreal: Cameroon’s Vincent Aboubakar was all alone with the ball, heading toward Serbia’s Vanjia Milinkovic-Savic. A sliding Serbia defender couldn’t do anything, and the goalkeeper was right there in front of Aboubakar.

So the Cameroon player did the only thing he could do there: He softly lofted the ball over the goalkeeper’s head, and it bounced once before going in.

Now: Was Aboubakar offside? Is that why he was so wide open? Turns out, per VAR, he was not!

What. A. Goal.
