GOAL OF THE WEEK! Round 1
August 11, 2008
French football is back! Here are five of the twenty-four goals scored in the first round of Ligue 1 this season. Be sure to cast your vote as to which one tops them all.
Bakary Koné (Marseille), 12th minute, against Nicolas Douchez
Precise ball from Ben Arfa to Koné in the box, who cuts back and places a powerful left-footed strike in the very top corner.
Yoann Gourcuff (Bordeaux), 53rd minute, against Vincent Planté
Run by Wendel and leaves it for the ex-Milanista who unloads a bastard of a right-footer from the arc to mark his first match with his new club.
Karim Benzema (Lyon), 59th minute, against Cédric Carrasso
Good ball from Govou across into the top of the area, Benzema controls well, volleys a left-footed strike into the back of the net from an uninviting angle.
David De Freitas (Nantes), 67th minute, against Rémy Riou
Without Auxerre applying any pressure, the French midfielder stepped up and struck a great long-range effort into the short side.
Bruno Cheyrou (Rennes), 90th+4 minute, against Steve Mandanda
Great collective goal in a wild finish, crisp passing by Rennes on the right flank, Cheyrou finishes it off with a crucial and well-taken header.
And now the fun part…
