Goalkeeper scores from 80 meters away

In the 85th minute of the match in the Portuguese Second Division, Soares came out of the penalty area to receive the ball from a teammate's pass. Goalkeeper Benfica B pushed the ball up a distance and then suddenly shot from a distance of 80 meters. The ball hit the bar and bounced off the opponent's goalkeeper Silva Santos, then into the goal. The referee considers this an own goal from Silva Santos.

"I saw the opponent's keeper go a little bit higher, and I knew the wind direction, so I took the risk. Luckily everything went well. It will stay in the memory, but the most important thing is We have three points," Soares said.

Soares' shot from 80 yards made it 1-1 for Benfica B. Before that, Mutsinzi opened the scoring for Trofense in the 32nd minute. 82 minutes, Semedo completed the comeback for Benfica B.

Soares grew up from the Benfica training camp. The 20-year-old goalkeeper starts playing for the B team from the 2021-2022 season. Soares also played for Portugal's U15 to U21 national teams.

In 2022, Soares and Benfica B won the European Championship for the U21 club level. In the final, they beat RB Salzburg 6-0.
