Daniel Zsori wins Fifa Puskas Award over Lionel Messi and Juan Fernando Quintero

Daniel Zsori has won the Fifa Puskas Award for 2019 for his goal against Ferencvaros, beating strikes from Lionel Messi and Juan Fernando Quintero.

Fifa announced 10 nominees in August before a public vote narrowed the list down to three earlier in September and a winner was announced in Milan on Monday evening.

Zsori announced himself to the world in some style, the 18-year-old's bicycle-kick winner came on his debut for Debrecen.

Having come on just minutes earlier, Zsori's goal secured victory over Ferencvaros in the Hungarian League.

Messi is a regular name among the nominees and was picked for his chip against Real Betis in March.

Having found Rakitic in space on the right, Messi recieved the return pass and hit a first-time chip from just inside the penalty area over Pau Lopez and in off the underside of the crossbar.

Other nominee Quintero scored a remarkable free kick in February while playing for River Plate, scoring from fully 35 yards as his left-footed effort from the right flank swung inside the top corner.
