Panama midfielder Marta Cox might just have scored the best goal you will see in the Women's World Cup against France.
The central American country scored their very first World Cup goal and it was an absolute beauty from captain and talisman Cox.
The Pachuca midfielder, nicknamed 'Keky', lined up a free-kick from around 35 yards out just two minutes into the Group F clash.The 26-year-old fancied her chances and promptly delivered a stunning strike which flew right into the top corner.
The technique was absolutely bang on the money, made up of the perfect combination of power and placement.
Pauline Peyraud-Magnin of Juventus in the goal had no chance whatsoever as the ball nestled into the top bins.
Cox performed a kneeslide and was mobbed by her teammates in some sensational scenes at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney.Cox and Panama were in dreamland but the game shifted dramatically from that point onwards.
Maelle Lakrar struck an equaliser in the 21st minute before Kadidiatou Diani struck a quickfire brace and Lea Le Garrec
completed the scoring in stoppage time at the end of the first half.The other main contender for goal of the tournament would appear to be Ireland captain Katie McCabe, who scored directly from a corner.England sensation Lauren James also scored two stunners in the 6-1 hammering of China yesterday, following up her worldie against Denmark.
