ZURICH (AP) — Lamine Yamal was nominated Thursday for the FIFA Puskas Award as the best men’s goal of last season, with Brazil great Marta shortlisted for the FIFA Marta Award , the women's award named after her.
Barcelona teenager Yamal’s goal was scored against Espanyol in May – a trademark curling left-foot shot after running across the defense from the right flank.
Marta got the ball in the center circle then sprinted and dribbled past two defenders, rounded the goalkeeper and scored into an empty net playing for Orlando Pride against Kansas City Current.
FIFA picked 11 nominees for each award which is voted for in equal blocs by fans online and a group of former international players.
The deadline for voting is Dec. 3. It is unclear if FIFA will present the award two days
