The goal scored by Simba SC striker Clatous Chama in the Kariakoo Derby against Yanga SC has continued to spark widespread debate online and among football stakeholders, with some suggesting it could be worthy of a nomination for the FIFA Puskás Award, given to the best goal of the year.
The goal, which came during a highly intense and competitive match between Tanzania’s football giants, has been described by fans and analysts as technical, unique, and highly creative, leading to its rapid spread across social media platforms.
Some football fans have referred to it as one of the best goals ever scored in the domestic league, believing it could make it onto the shortlist for the international Puskás Award if it is officially submitted.
It is reported that Simba’s management, in collaboration with other stakeholders, is working to ensure that the relevant award officials are made aware of the goal, which has already been broadcast on various television stations worldwide and continues to attract significant online viewership.
Chama scored the goal in the 8th minute, which was Simba’s second goal in the match against Yanga, a game that eventually ended in a 2-2 draw.
