Salah's Manchester City goal compared to a goal in Peru with laughter

Mohamed Salah's quality transcends borders, the quality of his goals is seen all over the world. In any other league on the planet they would like to have a player like the Liverpool star. That's why his stunning goal against Manchester City at the weekend was so incredibly compared to one scored in Peruvian football, in South America. Alianza Lima earned a valuable away win against Cienciano, but what caught the eye was Jairo Concha's stunning strike, which drew comparisons to Salah's goal against the Citizens.

Peruvian journalist Erick Osores made an analysis and compared both collective actions on the programme Fútbol en América, when reporter Vladimir Vicentelo gave his opinion on the matter: "Different definition because the play ends differently. Even the marking of the centre-back is the same. He wants to anticipate it', he said. Suddenly, Osores specified that the play contemplates a similar situation: 'In essence it has to do with a goalkeeper's kick directly to the position of an attacker,' were his first words.

In that, the communicator acknowledged that there was complicity on the part of the goalkeeper of ', Jair Concha's rival, because the ball hits his body and still goes into the goal: 'You have to give credit to the goalkeeper (Zubzuck) and Campos. I see the audacity of the Liverpool goalkeeper and the Alianza goalkeeper. They are goals that are born similar and on the same day,' he added. However, Oscar Del Portal, another of the panelists on the TV show, took the similarity as a joke. For me it has value, but the comparison makes me laugh because it ends up totally different. My doubt is because it doesn't end the same,' said the commentator as he watched the replay of the two actions.

This is what Jairo Concha's goal against Cienciano was like. It all started with a goal kick taken by the goalkeeper who sent a long ball into the opposition half, where a striker from Alianza Lima, a popular Peruvian team, had the nerve to play with the offside trap, he got away from a defender, but could not calculate the fall of the ball and when he took his shot, the goalkeeper saved it. But the rebound fell to Jairo Concha, who came through the middle and scored.

In the case of the Egyptian, the move started from a free kick from the Citizen side. Kevin De Bruyne crossed into the box, but the ball was held by goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who immediately spotted the African in the distance and flicked on a long pass with his foot. In a similar move to the one at Alianza Lima, Salah beat Joao Cancelo to the ball, advanced a few metres and opened his left foot to score a stunning goal in the 76th minute before Ederson, who was unable to block the shot. Obviously, there is a difference in the finish, but the intention is the same.
