Zsori Beats Lionel Messi To Win FIFA Puskas Award
Daniel Zsori has won the Fifa Puskas Award for 2019 for his goal against Ferencvaros, beating strikes from Lionel Messi and Juan Fernando Quintero.
Having been introduced just a few minutes from full time with his side tied at 1-1 with Ferencvaros, the youngster fired home an overhead kick from the edge of the box in the 93rd minute – all on his professional debut.
Having made 25 appearances in total during his time with Debrecen, scoring two goals, Zsori secured a transfer to fellow Nemzeti Bajnokság I side Fehervar during the summer.
Fifa announced 10 nominees in August before a public vote narrowed the list down to three earlier in September and a winner was announced in Milan on Monday evening.
