In The Stands: Goal of the Week

Published May 24, 2011 | By Rolly

The time has come again for In The Stands to once again reveal the cream of this weeks goals with the winner coming from a low-key second division Greek championship match.

Step forward Dimitrus Sialmas whose perfectly executed bicycle-kick, suitably preluded by an amazing piece of skill by team-mate Manwlis Skoufalis, wowed the small crowd during PAS Giannina second division match against Ethnikos Asteras in early May.

After making a short dash to the edge of the opposition box, winger Skoufalis produced an amazing ‘rabona’ cross with all the conviction of a gassed-up Cristiano Ronaldo. Realizing his moment to grab all the back pages across the land had arrived, team-mate Sialmas went one-step further by executing a flamboyant and superb bicycle-kick which eluded the goalkeeper and flew into net.

The goal put PAS Giannina 2-0 up in a match which they would eventually win 3-0 on their way towards securing promotion to the Greek superleague.

Step aside Lionel Messi. Cristiano Ronaldo you are benched. Wayne Rooney pack your bags. There is a new sheriff in town. Remember the name, Dimitrus Sialmus!
