Hlompho Kekana’s wonder strike is one of 10 Fifa goal of the year award finalists
Mamelodi Sundowns star Hlompho Kekana’s wonder goal for Bafana Bafana against Cameroon has been nominated as one of the 10 finalists of Fifa’s goal of the year award‚ to be decided by a public vote. South Africans are encouraged to visit Fifa.com and vote for the strike‚ scored from within his own half by Kekana on March 26, in an 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Limbe. Kekana’s goal appears to stand head and shoulders above the other nine nominations, but with strikes from world stars such as Barcelona’s Neymar and Argentina’s Lionel Messi among the candidates‚ the competition might turn into a popularity contest. Kekana scored the goal in the first half‚ taking the ball off Cameroon’s Tony Tshani deep in Bafana’s half. TMG Digital
