Puskás-worthy, surely? Boca Juniors concede a stunner, weigh in
Argentine forward Alexander Díaz has thrown his name into the hat for this year’s Puskás award.
He scored an absolute stunner to seal Deportivo Riestra’s 3-0 win over Boca Juniors this Sunday (26).
The match closed out the opening round of the Argentine Primera División Clausura.
Burst of pace, dribble, and PURE CLASS
Playing in front of their home crowd at the modest Guillermo Laza Stadium — which holds 3,000 fans — Riestra were already ahead thanks to Braian Sánchez (7') and Antony Alonso (23').
And they got their third before halftime.
Boca had the ball after a corner, but failed to make the most of it and then gifted a counterattack that would prove fatal.
Díaz took off from inside Riestra’s own half.
He sped past two opponents and, before the third could do anything, lofted the ball over goalkeeper Álvaro Montero — who stands 2 meters tall — in the 38th minute.

So, what do you think? Is it a Puskás contender or just another beautiful goal among so many others?

Riestra made their top-flight debut in Argentina in 2024 and played in this year’s Copa Sudamericana after recording the sixth-best campaign in the domestic league last year.
But their performance in their first international tournament ended up being poor.
They managed just five points in Group F and were eliminated in the group stage.
Montevideo City Torque advanced directly to the round of 16, while Grêmio are in the playoffs.
