His 58 meter lob, Messin had premeditated it

Author of a goal of his own during Monaco-Metz, Lamine Camara knew that the ASM goalkeeper had a tendency to advance.

It’s the goal of the weekend in Ligue 1, and probably one of the goals of the season. Lamine Camara scored an exceptional goal with FC Metz on Sunday in Monaco, landing a superb lob measured 58 meters from the ASM cage.

And the best part is that this gesture was premeditated. “Yes, I’ve been following their matches (at the Monegasques) for a while and I saw that the goalkeeper sometimes went far from his line, Camara said. As soon as the opportunity presented itself, I didn’t hesitate. And I put it on! I had it in my head that I was going to have an opportunity, so, once again, I didn’t hesitate. »

There is, however, a world of difference between imagining this gesture and pulling it off, and Camara’s shot is absolutely perfect, impeccably measured. Philipp Köhn, who realized too late what was happening to him, was unable to do anything. Fortunately for him, a double from Golovin allowed Monaco to win against Metz (2-1).
