An instinctive gesture to show in football schools. The Slovenian Benjamin Sesko scored against Sweden (1-1), this Wednesday, a magnificent goal. An inspiration worthy of the greatest. We rewind. We have been playing for barely half an hour in the League of Nations and the 19-year-old striker inherits an aerial opening to achieve a sumptuous volley from the left, from a tight angle. The ball lodges under the bar of Robin Olsen (28th) the Swedish goalkeeper. A pure, high-class gesture, which allowed the Slovenians to open the scoring, before Emil Forsberg equalized shortly before the break at the Friends Arena in Solna, near Stockholm (42nd).
Sesko is one of the great hopes of European football. The 1.95m center forward plays in Salzburg. He landed there at the age of 16, in the summer of 2019, quickly meeting Erling Haaland, six months before his departure for Dortmund. The comparison with the Manchester City prodigy is obvious. His rating is currently estimated at 20 million euros by the Transfermarkt site. Those who want it, however, will have to wait. Under contract until 2026 with Salzburg, Benjamin Sesko will play next season in Leipzig, the main team of the Red Bull team, where he has already signed up until 2028.
