Toni Martínez scored a superb goal during Alavés’ visit to Real Madrid in a Matchday 33 La Liga clash played on April 21.
The Spanish forward, a former FC Porto player, found the net in stoppage time with a backheel flick inside the box, finishing off an attacking move by the away side. The goal made it 2-1 at the final whistle at the Santiago Bernabéu, but it was not enough to prevent Alavés from losing.
Before that, Real Madrid had built a two-goal lead and were in control of the match. Even so, the visitors’ more attack-minded approach in the closing minutes allowed them to pull one back and add an artistic touch to the outcome.
Toni Martínez also stood out in other attacking moves and was one of Alavés’ main threats throughout the game. His most memorable moment came in stoppage time, with a backheel finish that stood out for its technical execution and composure in front of goal.
Despite the defeat, the striker’s goal ended up being one of the standout moments of the round in Spain, thanks to the quality of the technique and the context in which it came — against one of the title contenders and at one of the most demanding stages in European football.
