FRANCESCO’S SERIE A GOALS OF THE WEEK

Jeremy Menez vs. Chievo – Menez scores the lone goal of the game on a beautifully coordinated first-time volley. Extremely difficult to do.

Sebastian Giovinco vs. Lecce – La Formica Atomica scores his first Serie A goal for Juventus with a beautiful free kick. Remind you of someone?

Edgar Barreto vs. Bologna – The Paraguayan midfielder has a rocket of a foot and has scored some screamers over the years. This one is no different, a laser beam from 30 yards out.

Marco Di Vaio vs. Reggina – Another difficult goal to score like Menez. A first time volley that is beautifully coordinated. Di Vaio has found a second wind in Bologna.

Adrian Mutu vs. Torino – Perfect free kick from Mutu, who just places it into the top corner.

CURIOUS FACT

With this goal from the spot, Alessandro Rosina is still 100% on penalty kicks in Serie A. Every penalty he has taken in the highest division he has scored, and currently is the most successful penalty taker in the history of Serie A.
