Viral video: Laurienté’s goal in Ligue 1 from a free kick makes them compare him with Juninho Pernambucano

A great goal incredible surprised everyone on matchday 30 of the League 1 from France. It was in the match between Nantes Y Lorient where the result was a 1-1 draw with goals from Randal Kolo Muani (2 ‘) and a tremendous goal from Armand Laurienté free kick (87 ‘). The finish of the French forward of Lorient was made viral in social networks for his almost 40 meters of distance and his similarity with the punch of the ex-Brazilian player Juninho Pernambucano.

Lorient’s 22-year-old forward, Laurienté, gave his team an agonizing draw thanks to a spectacular free-kick goal in the 87th minute. His shot came from the left side at almost 40 meters, took a lot of height and passed through above Nantes goalkeeper Alban Lafont. The goal quickly went viral on social media, where they claimed it for the Puskás Award for the best goal of the year.

Clearly his goal from a direct free-kick in the draw against Nantes will be a competitor for the one that Erik Lamela made a short time ago in the game between Arsenal and Tottenham. His prominence on social media led Laurienté to be compared with former Olympique Lyon player Juninho Pernambucano, considered one of the best free-kick kickers in history.

In the 87th minute and with his team 0-1, Laurienté grabbed the ball to hit it from far away and score an unforgettable goal. It was on date 30 of Ligue 1, where Lorient is 17th with 29 units, very close to the relegation zone. For its part, Nantes is 19th with 28 points in the relegation zone, since this was a key match in the fight not to be relegated.

Laurienté’s career

Armand Laurienté was born in Gonesse, France in December 1998 (22 years old), he started playing football at Rennes, where he played 22 games and scored 7 goals. Later he went to Orleans and Lorient on loan, where he is currently.
