Ghanaian winger Fatawu Issahaku’s long-distance goal has resurfaced after Real Madrid midfielder Arda Güler scored a similar strike in the La Liga against Elche.

On Saturday, March 14, 2026, Real Madrid thrashed Elche 4-1 at the Bernabéu, with the Turkish player’s goal standing out as a spectacle.

The outstanding moment of the night arrived in the 88th minute when Güler, who had been introduced as a substitute for Vinícius Júnior, spotted Elche goalkeeper Matías Dituro far off his line.

Leicester City boss praises Fatawu Issahaku for extraordinary goal in Ipswich win

Demonstrating remarkable vision and confidence, the playmaker unleashed a perfectly weighted lob from 68.6 meters that soared over the back-pedaling goalkeeper before dropping neatly into the net.

The goal quickly went viral, reigniting memories of Issahaku’s historic long-range strike.

The Ghanaian winger produced his magical moment during Leicester City’s 3-1 win at the King Power Stadium against Ipswich Town, catching goalkeeper Christian Walton off his line with a sensational effort from well inside his own half in December 2025.

The Black Stars winger won possession, slipped the ball through Jack Taylor’s legs, and unleashed a stunning left-footed shot that soared over Walton, leaving the stadium in disbelief.

Opta confirmed that Fatawu’s strike, measured at around 65 yards, surpassed all previously documented long-range goals in the league’s statistical archives.

The two stunning goals have sparked debate among fans, with some favoring Güler while others believe Issahaku’s strike remains the standout.

Both goals have been tipped to compete for the Puskás Award at the end of the 2025/2026 season.
