Goals of the Week: Giornata 12

goalsweek

Fairly good week for goals, as only one game finished 0-0 (Catania-Napoli, but ask Takayuki Morimoto about that). The top scorer table is still wide open, as Di Natale started strong but now has cooled off so he remains at 9, while Hamsik is second with 7 and that’s impressive for a midfielder. Pazzini and Milito also are at 7 and they probably won’t stay there for long, while Trezeguet and Eto’o are starting to score regularly as well and are at 6. Most impressive on the top scorer list at the moment? Giandomenico Mesto at 4 goals. Mesto only scored 1 goal in 5 seasons at Reggina and 2 in a season with Udinese. He already has 4 this season. Amazing what a change of position can do to a player. Goals of the week after the jump.

Felipe Melo vs. Atalanta – This video is good because it first shows the perfectly valid goal that Melo scored that was called back and then a few seconds later he sticks it in the linesman’s face and unleashes an unstoppable blast past Consigli.

Fabio Ceravolo vs. Juventus – Nice assist from Simone Tiribocchi, and then Ceravolo cuts past Grosso and puts a perfect curling effort past the outstretched Buffon.

Riccardo Allegretti vs. Livorno – Allegretti was long known to be a free kick specialist, and Bari fans were waiting for him to finally score on a free kick in Serie A. It finally happened vs. Livorno.

Marco Di Vaio vs. Palermo – Di Vaio first misses the easy breakaway, but then makes up for it finishing from an almost impossible angle.

Mirko Vucinic vs. Inter – The Montenegrin scores a beautiful header. Marco Motta with the long searching pass, Vucinic jumps over Lucio and loops it over Julio Cesar.

Samuel Eto’o vs. Roma – This is a real striker’s goal. Amazing quick turn and pinpoint finish.

Alexandre Pato vs. Lazio – Nice buildup from the Rossoneri, Ronaldinho with the pinpoint cross and Pato with the perfect anticipation of Kolarov and perfect header past Muslera.
