Great moment in European Championship qualifying: Balzer’s amateur goes viral with his dream goal against Bosnia

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Sandro Wolfinger (32) earns his money as a project manager at an events company. On the weekends he plays in the 1st League Classic with the amateurs of FC Balzers against Tuggen of Gossau. But on a few special days of the year he can don the Liechtenstein shirt – and compete on the big football stage.

However, Wolfinger cannot celebrate many successes in his career with the national team. Usually it is a blow, often very drastic, such as the 7-0 defeat against Iceland this spring. But since Friday evening everything has changed. Suddenly Wolfinger is an internet sensation and living every footballer’s dream.

Life goal in the European Championship qualification

The footballers from the Principality will meet Bosnia during the European Championship qualifiers. Liechtenstein soon found themselves 2-0 behind and everything seemed to be going as usual – until Wolfinger’s Finest Hour arrived. The midfielder completes after a corner and hammers the ball fantastically into the corner.

An absolute dream goal that went viral around the world within minutes. A tweet from the ‘EuroFoot’ platform about Wolfinger’s box was viewed almost four million times. In the end, Liechtenstein narrowly lost the match 1:2. But hardly anyone in the Liechtenstein camp is likely to worry about this. Especially not Wolfinger, who made a name for himself in the football world overnight.

Curious: Wolfinger was never known for scoring many goals in his career. His last goal came more than four years ago in the first division in the shirt of USV Eschen/Mauren. And now this volley hammer. It could not be better. (are)
