Argentine midfielder Matteo Coronel scored a world goal from a distance of 70 meters, for his team, Atletico Tucuman, against its guest Paracas Central in the Argentine Premier League.
In the added time of the match "90 + 3", Coronel received a ball that his fellow defender removed from inside the Tucuman penalty area, then set it up for himself and shot it from a distance, taking advantage of the Paracas goalkeeper's exit from his net and the progress of all the opposing team players at the last moments of the match.
