It reminded of the Qatar World Cup's best goal by Brazilian striker Richarlison when his compatriot Dorielton Gomez scored from a spectacular bicycle kick in Bashundhara Kings' 1-0 win over Bangladesh Police at their home ground in Dhaka Friday.
The magnificent overhead effort of the Brazilian secured a four-point lead for the Kings at the summit of Bangladesh Premier League after their fifth-round fixture.
Dorielton exhibited athletic beauty of Latin football when he turned a fine cross from Rakib Hossain into a potential goal of the season with a bullet finish into the near post from just outside the six-yard box.
The defending champions made it five wins in a row to extend their best possible start to the 2022-23 season after winning the inaugural Independence Cup last month where they were unbeaten.
Abahani Limited, who sit second in the league, crushed Chattogram Abahani 5-1 in the other match of the day at Shaheed Dhirendranath Datta Stadium in Comilla.
Nigerian-Bangladeshi forward Eleta Kingsley scored a brace while Mehedi, Daniel Colindres and Nabib Newaj Jibon added one each for the Sky Blues.
Colindres showed his class once again with a delightful touch when the Costa Rican World Cupper chipped over the goalkeeper for the team's fourth goal in the 81st minute.
Dorielton played for Abahani last season while Colindres also spent a couple of seasons at the Kings previously.
Meanwhile in the day's other match, Muktijoddha Sangsad Krira Chakra edged past bottom-placed Azampur FC 1-0 at Rafique Uddin Bhuiyan Stadium in Mymensingh.
