We featured two bicycle kicks in one goal just here before but never two at the same time. This is from last Sunday’s match between Gimnasia La Plata and Boca Juniors After the ball deflected off a Boca defender, Gimnasia’s Sebastián Romero and Marco Pérez both had the same idea, and leapt into the air to pull off the circus trick and delight the commentator.

A beautiful bicycle er pass by Ronicley followed up by a spectacular volley from Caio. O Gol Mais Bonito! A masterpiece! A painting!

This piece of magic happened in a second round match in something called the Copa Espírito Santo (The Holy Spirit Cup), which is an annual competition for clubs in the Espírito Santo state of Brazil. The winner of the Holy Spirit Cup gets a place in the following year’s Copa do Brasil.
