We’re all fans of a bicycle kick, aren’t we? There’s nothing quite like it – a near-on back flip and swing of both legs which you just don’t see all that often.
But there’s usually a caveat. Either the finish wasn’t quite in the corner, or the ball didn’t hit the net in the right way.
In Ajax’s under-19 team however, they don’t mess about.
May we have your attention please! What a goal from Kaj Sierhuis! ⚽️🚴 #UYL #ajabre pic.twitter.com/Be2gls5y06

The outrageous finish came during Ajax’s 4-0 win in the Uefa Youth League against Breidablik, and was scored by 18-year-old Kaj Sierhuis.
A high leap from a cross, coupled with a finish off the crossbar and into the top corner. What a sizzler.
And the camera angles weren’t bad either – you couldn’t have staged a better goal.

Ajax’s result takes them into the next round of the competition, where they’ll face PAOK FC – but Sierhuis’s acrobatic effort might not even have been the best of the game.
OK, it was definitely the goal of the game, but the opening goal from Belgian midfielder Francesco Antonucci was pretty special as well.
What a rocket from Antonucci for #AjaxU19! 🚀💥 #UYL #ajabre pic.twitter.com/8EH4Bmqo9S

All the best to PAOK in the next round. At least if they lose they’ll have a great view of some scintillating goals.
