A contender for this year’s Puskas Award has emerged ESPN Walter Bou chested the ball down with his back to goal ESPN Bou unleashed an incredible bicycle kick that had the stadium in awe ESPN Many fans said it was better than Alejandro Garnacho’s acrobatics at Everton ESPN
With seconds remaining, Walter Bou chested down a cross before setting himself up for an outrageous bicycle-kick from outside the box.
The ball hovered in the air for what seemed like an eternity before chipping goalkeeper Felipe Tomas Zenobio in the 90th minute to win it for his side.
The mind-blowing strike was hit in Garnacho’s homeland of Argentina as Lanus beat Tigre 3-2 on Sunday night.
The 30-year old’s goal sent his team-mates wild as he calmly stood up and pointed at his head in celebration.
Supporters could not resist hailing and comparing the strike online.
One wrote: “That’s better than Garnacho’s.”
A second said: “Just give Walter Bou the Puskas award now.”
A third declared: “Watching this live was just crazy… scoring a game winner like this is just insane.”

While another chimed in: “Has to be top five goals I’ve ever seen in my life, an 89th minute winner too? Unreal.”
Manchester United fans think Garnacho is favourite to lift it this year after his stunning overhead strike at Everton last November.
Garnacho could not be nominated last year because the awards were given from the period from 19th December 2022 to 20th August 2023 to cover the Qatar World Cup.
So the United winger is among the top contenders to nab the 2024 trophy – but now has a clear rival ahead of the award ceremony on October 28.
