Caught on Camera: Goals, Goals, Goals!

Kuala Lumpur: Capable of delivering a moment of pure, unadulterated joy, goals – be they long-range piledrivers or simply tap ins from two yards – are the very lifeblood of football.

They are the difference between success and failure, between happiness and regret. They are what each and every fan yearns for when cheering on their team.

Over the years, Asia has – of course – witnessed more than its fair share of wonderous and iconic goals, efforts that still resonate, still excite, still make people applaud.
