FANS have been left stunned by Yassine Benzia’s incredible goal of the season contender.
The Algerian star scored twice and grabbed an assist in a 3-3 thriller with South Africa last night.
Benzia’s team were a goal down when his acrobatic heroics levelled the game.
Monsef Bakrar dribbled down the wing, chopping inside before poking the ball to his 29-year-old team-mate.
The pass was slightly behind Benzia, who improvised brilliantly flicking the ball up above his head.
He then performed an overhead kick with his weaker foot that flew beyond the goalkeeper.

Another added: “Bro brought Fifa skill set to real life.”
A third reacted: “The flick and overhead combo is class.”
