Augustine Okrah’s amazing goal couldn’t make the FIFA Puskas shortlist

FIFA has released its list of sumptuous goals to contest for the Puskas Award without nominating Okrah’s delightful rabona for Al Merreikh

Okrah, who now plays for Al Hilal scored a rabona for Al Merreikh in January: hit the byline before criss-crossing his left leg to toe-poke the ball past the goalkeeper.

The former Bechem United marksman bagged 17 goals three seasons ago to win the goal king of the Ghana Premier League.

Below is the shortlist for FIFA Puskas Award 2016:
