The goal in question was scored during the 32nd day of Ligue 2, April 10, 2021, on the lawn of the Chamois Niortais. In the 69th minute of play, Gauthier Hein receives the ball on the right of the field, transplanted in the axis, eliminates five defenders by dribbling, and scores with a powerful strike with the right foot.
The Frenchman is in good company in the final selection, surrounded by players like Erik Lamela or Riyad Mahrez. The winner will be crowned after the vote of a jury made up of a panel of Fifa legends and supporters who can register to vote. His name will be unveiled on January 17, 2022, at the The Best Fifa football awards in Zurich.
