The Czech Republic scored an audacious goal from near midfield at Euro 2020 that left the opposing keeper tangled in the net like a fish

Patrik Schick hit an early contender for goal of the tournament at Euro 2020 with his second score against Scotland on Monday.

After a deflection left the ball right at his feet near midfield, the Czech forward recognized that Scottish keeper David Marshall was out of position, playing extremely far forward while his team had possession.

Rather than play forward and attempt to lead the break, Schick one-touched a magnificent strike from just past midfield, lobbing the ball across the pitch towards the net.

Marshall attempted to scramble back to the net, but there was nothing he could do but watch as Schick's perfectly lobbed strike fell over his head to give the Czech Republic a 2-0 lead.

Marshall, a keeper playing in one of the most prestigious tournaments in world soccer, was reduced to sliding into his own netting and getting tangled up like a fish.

The goal was Schick's second of the match, putting him in an extremely early tie with Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Golden Boot.
