Sick volley.

Geylang International FC player, Fabian Kwok, is in the running for the SLeague's goal of the season title.

In the match on May 8, 2014, against Albirex Nigata, the Albirex goalkeeper had just cleared the ball out of his box and was completely off his line.

The 25-year-old replied with an intuitive one-touch volley and scored from a 40-metre punt inside the centre circle of his own half.

The goal came in the 32nd minute.

However, Geylang eventually lost the match 4-2.

Here's the video: You can hear the crowd shouting in anticipating as the ball was mid-way on course to finding the back of the net. The hang time of the ball in the air was about 2 seconds.
