Turkish club Besiktas’ prolific striker Cenk Tosun’s 25-meter strike against Portuguese side Porto in the UEFA Champions League won ‘Goal of the Group Stage’ on Monday.
Besiktas won the first match of the group against Porto away 3-1, eventually topping the group to become the first ever Turkish team to do so.
Tosun received possession about 25 meters out and advanced a few paces before unleashing a right-footed rocket which defeated Porto ‘keeper Iker Casillas.
The 26-year-old striker has now won both ‘Goal of the Group Stage’ and ‘Goal of the Season’, for his volley against Benfica in Istanbul last season which started a comeback, in which the Black Eagles clawed back a 3-3 drawn from being 3-nil down.
