Back in 2017, Mario Engels was a player of Śląsk Wrocław. However, the German midfielder said goodbye to the Polish fields, and scored a beautiful goal at the weekend.

It must be admitted that Mario Engels was not a player that even the most attentive PKO BP Ekstraklasa fans could remember – immediately determining the time and moment of his appearances on Polish pitches. The German had a relatively short episode in the colors of Śląsk Wrocław, lasting only a season (2016/17). In total, there were 17 official matches and three goals for Engels in the top league.

After his stay in Poland, the German footballer decided to go to the Dutch league. From Wrocław he went to Roda JC Kerkrade, then there was a temporary return to Germany, another short episode in Japan, and then back to the Netherlands. Since the 2023/24 season, Engels has been a player of Heracles Almelo. And it was for this team that the midfielder scored a great goal, which quickly became a very strong candidate for the goal of the year 2024.

It’s actually hard to describe in words what happened last weekend. Heracles hosted Ajax Amsterdam. A European club legend who has had his problems in recent years. Although Ajax is Ajax, as was painfully realized by, among others, Jagiellonia Białystok in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers. The club from Amsterdam took a tour of the current Polish champions, indicating a place for the Polish team.

Coming back to Engels’ goal, it was a particularly beautiful goal. As the shooter himself admitted, it was probably the goal of his life. The German scored 2-1 for the hosts in the 28th minute of the match. A goal from halfway? Something amazing!

Ultimately, Ajax managed to turn the tide of the match. The guests from Amsterdam won after a thrilling exchange of blows 4:3 over the hosts. The hero of the match – apart from the above-mentioned Engels and his wonderful goal – was Wout Weghorst, the author of two goals for the visitors.

It is possible that the goal scored by Engels will be the winner of the FIFA award. Ferenc Puskas. This distinction is awarded annually for the most beautiful goal of the season. Interestingly, in the 2021/22 season this award was received by Marcin Oleksy, then a player of Warta Poznań Amp Futbol.
