Caen’s Fajr Scores Accidental Wonder Goal to Secure Crucial Ligue 1 Victory

Not wanting to claim laurels without deserving them, Moroccan international Fayçal Fajr informed the press after the match pitting his team, SM Caen, against Dijon FCO, which ended 1-0, that the winning goal was purely accidental. This victory allows Caen to no longer be in the relegation zone...

Fayçal Fajr says: "I’m going to cross. At no time do I want to shoot. I want to cross the ball hard in front of the goal, as we were able to score against Monaco by cutting the trajectory. I see Malik’s run. When I see him take off, I tell myself that the little chance is with me, with us. It’s nice. But what I remember today is the victory." A beautiful lesson in honesty from a player who is otherwise always modest and never celebrates his exploits.

And it’s a goal to see and see again, from a distance of nearly 35 meters. Taken from the left wing, the ball lobs the goalkeeper and goes straight into the net. One of the most beautiful goals of the championship and one of the best goals of Fajr’s career, according to several sports journalists. It was quite possible that this achievement was intentional, but Fajr tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Bravo!
