Algeciras, from Cadiz, Andalucia, celebrated a great goal from winger Tomás on Sunday, October 2, and a clip of the strike has gone viral.
The video shows Tomas taking a short corner to teammate Alvaro Romero who backheels the ball back into the pass of the winger who runs onto it and curls the ball with the outside of his boot into the top corner of the net.
“💥 THIS. IS. AN AUTHENTIC. GOAL. He took the corner. He finished it off with the outside after a backheel from @Varo7r. 👏🏻 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗱 by @TomasSM7. 🔴⚪️ @AlgecirasCF.”

The wonderful goal captured on video in Spain comes after a more ugly side to the game was captured in the UK.
The video captured the moment Oldham and Wrexham fans clashed before their side’s National League match on Saturday, October 1.
The footage shows around 100 hooligans can be seen throwing kicks and punches at each other as police arrive on the scene.
