Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimiscored what is one of the goals of the entire Olympic Games as the defender added the icing on top of the cake with an incredible free-kick in the Bronze medal match against Egypt. The African side, who made it to the final four at the 2022 World Cup, were hoping to go one step better in this third-placed play-off after they were narrowly defeated by Spain in the semi-final.
After a dominant display saw them already leading by a 5-0 scoreline, the Atlas Lions were awarded a free-kick from a substantial distance. This didn’t stop the 25-year-old from having a go though, and what a go it was.

The strike came at the end of a comprehensive victory
Stepping up from more than 30 yards out, the former Real Madrid and Inter Milan star thumped the ball into the back of the net to add his side’s sixth of the game. While the muted celebration may have been to show respect to his well-beaten opposition, the smile across the defender’s face told the entire story of how special the effort was.
