Football players have demonstrated that although goals are not frequently scored directly from corners, it is feasible if the kick is given enough twist or the wind is blowing in the right direction.
The goalie is often deemed responsible when a goal is scored from a corner. Olympic goals, also known as Olympico goals, are this kind of objective.
The term “Olympico goal,” which is used to a goal scored directly from a corner in football, has been used to refer to any goal scored from a corner kick since Argentina’s Cesareo Onzari scored against the reigning Olympic champions Uruguay in 1924.
Only a small number of football players have achieved the incredibly rare achievement of scoring immediately after a corner kick, permanently marking their names in the annals of the sport. One of the most difficult things to do in football is score from a corner kick because of the angle involved and the difficulty of getting the ball past the goalkeeper.
But in this post, we will focus on the three active players who have scored after receiving a corner kick.
1.Mohamed Salah
He scored an Olympico goal is Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah, who did it during a game between Egypt and Swaziland.
The Swaziland goalkeeper was well off of his line as the Egyptian international’s corner kick was played, and it went straight into the net just under the crossbar.
2. Toni Kroos
In the first fifteen minutes of Real Madrid’s Supercopa semifinal game against Valencia, the German and Real Madrid midfielder scored the Olympico goal. The Valencia goaltender was off his lines and facing the corner area when he decided to attempt an Olympico goal.
