Gooooooooaaaallll of the year!
Arlington soccer player Marcus Curaca recently took home the title for Goal of the Year from US Youth Soccer for his incredible bicycle kick in a game during the Jefferson Cup in Richmond.
Curaca, who attends Yorktown High School, scored his highlight reel goal in the final minutes of a game in which his travel team, the Arlington Venom, needed to win.
With the match tied at 0-0, Curaca pulled out all the stops with a bicycle kick goal. Never mind that Curaca never tried the move before in a game, or even in a practice, he had the instinct to do it in a crucial moment of a big game.
The goal won the game, and eventually earned Curaca some high honors on a national level.
