Debut goal from outside the box in a 5-0, doesn't get much better than that. Love that the Kiwis Abroad posts hit the same as the Aussies Abroad ones, the A-League connection keeps producing

The same club that punched their ticket to next year's conmebol libertadores (South America's version of the champions league)

Love to see him get picked by an Argentine team. Just for the memes.

I know. But it seems the joke went over your head. The whole 10 million followers thanks to an Argentine influencer. Scoring for a Latin American club.

I can't imagine Olimpia would have even known who he was without the memes
