Ex-Benfica full-back scores backheel, Puskás talk starts (Video) | OneFootball

Francisco Domingues, a defender developed at Benfica, was the standout figure in Moreirense’s 1-0 win over Casa Pia on matchday four of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The 24-year-old full-back decided the match with a superb backheel shot, and some are already calling it one of the contenders for goal of the season.

Casa Pia and Moreirense came into the clash still looking for their first win of the 2026/27 league campaign. Although the match did not produce many clear-cut chances, both teams had good spells of football and delivered a balanced contest. Still, it was Moreirense who found the back of the net. And in some style.

In the 15th minute, Francisco Domingues received the ball on the edge of the box and, virtually on the 16-meter line, came up with a backheel shot of astonishing accuracy. The ball only stopped in the back of the net, leaving André Gomes with no chance. The full-back’s piece of skill, developed at Benfica, was of such quality that it was quickly being mentioned as one of the leading contenders for the Puskás Award, the prize given to the best goal of the year.

The goal allowed Moreirense to go into halftime ahead. Up to the break, the team from Moreira de Cónegos looked more confident and composed, trying to extend their lead, although they were unable to beat the opposing goalkeeper again.

In the second half, the score remained unchanged and Moreirense sealed a narrow win, largely thanks to the moment of inspiration from the former Benfica player. For Francisco Domingues, it was a night to remember and a goal that promises to keep people talking throughout the season.
