Video: You’ll rarely see a ball hit as hard as this thunderbolt from Iran

Forget curling the ball or any of that fancy-dan crap, just put the boot through the ball and see what happens.

Forget curling the ball or any of that fancy-dan crap, just put the boot through the ball and see what happens.

We’ve seen some unbelievable goals over the last few days and while this effort from Iran might not be as silky as the one scored by Jack Wilshere against Norwich, as jaw-dropping as Hajtem Kasami’s effort for Fulham or as outrageous as the goal scored by Stephanie Roche for Peamount United, it certainly wins the prize for the most powerful strike of the weekend.

The man with the extra punch in his boots was Vouria Ghafouri of Iranian side Naft Tehran in a clash against Esteghlal and with not much on after he picked the ball up around the halfway line, he decided to let fly from around 40 yards and hit the top corner with a strike that no ‘keeper would stop.
