Rising Star Lamine Camara Shocks Monaco with Spectacular 58-Meter Goal

Louis II was blown away. And Monaco with it. This Sunday, Adi Hütter’s men could only see the damage in the face of the intuition and talent of a young man, Lamine Camara. While the Monegasques had started the match very high on the pitch, they were trapped by a magnificent gesture from the young Messin.

After a bad transmission from Takumi Minamino to Youssouf Fofana, the Senegalese asked no questions. When he recovered the ball, he attempted a lob 58 meters from the goal guarded by Philipp Köhn. Bingo. His attempt fooled Monaco’s German goalkeeper before finishing under the bar. An exceptional goal due to his instinct? Not only.

“I’ve been following their matches for a while,” he explained on Canal + at half-time. “I saw that the goalkeeper was coming off his line and was far from his cages. So when the opportunity arrived, I didn’t hesitate. I knew there was going to be an opportunity…”. His goal already falls into the category of pawns of the year in L1. But this is not an elite record.

Since 2013, and the start of Opta statistics in L1, two men have done better: Wahbi Khazri (68 meters, against Metz, in 2021) and his Tunisian compatriot passed by Évian Thonon-Gaillard, Saber Khalifa (64 meters, against Nice, in 2013).
