Mikhail Sivakou dedicates his super-goal to his mother (video)
Belarusian legioner of "Wisla" (Krakow) says it was a conscious decision to attempt at “Lechia”s goal from 52-meters: “I saw the goalkeeper came out too far!”
A brilliant goal was scored by the Belarusian youth national team's player Mikhail Sivakou, who plays for "Wisla" (Krakow) now. The Belarusian player came out to the field as a substitute at the 86th minute in a Polish championship game. A minute later he got hold of the ball in the center of the field and sent it right behind the goalkeeper's collar upon a non-reachable trajectory.
“While I was sitting on the substitutes' bench I saw "Lechia"'s goalkeeper coming out of his goal too far, — Mikhail Sivakou has told. — Tsvetan Genkov was in a situation like this in the first half. However, he did not notice that the goalkeeper "lost" the goal and decided to make a break-through. Thus, I already knew I could try to make a shot like this. When I came out to the field at the 87th minute I already knew what to do!”
“Only great footballers can score such goals, and Sivakou is sure to become a great footballer", — "Wisla"'s chief coach Robert Maaskant praised the player at the after-game press-conference.
Let us remind you, Mikhail Sivakou signed a contract with the Italian "Calgary". However, the Italian club rented him to "Wisla" in the beginning of the season. Sivakou has a good chance to become a Champion of Poland this year: the Krakow team heads the table with just 5 games ahead.
