Iceland has been tipped as one of the contenders for the 2018 World
Cup Goal of the Tournament by FIFA.
FIFA has selected the best goals from the first two rounds of games
and the Musa's 75th minute goal against Iceland at the Volgograd Arena
on June 22 made the shortlist.
Musa surged clear of Iceland defender, Arnason, went past Halldorsson
and took his time before finding the bottom corner with a player on
the line.
Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Toni Kroos, Denis Cheryshev, Nacho,
Philippe Coutinho , Dries Mertens, Juan Quintero, Artem Dzyuba, Luka
Modric, Jesse Lingard and Ricardo Quaresma have been picked among the
best goals so far by Fifa.
Musa opened the scoring against Iceland when he brought the ball down
and drilled a half-volley into the roof of the net from 12 yards three
minutes into the second half.
Uruguay striker, Diego Forlan's strike in the match for third place
against Germany won the Goal of the Tournament in South Africa 2010
while James Rodriguez's dipping volley vs Uruguay was the most
eye-catching goal of Brazil 2014.
