Mika Godts, a 20-year-old sensation, has emerged as one of Ajax’s key players this season.
He further solidified this reputation on Saturday (25) with a sensational goal worthy of a Puskás Award during an Eredivisie match.
After assisting Gloukh in scoring the opener at NAC Breda in the 20th minute, Godts showcased his remarkable talent to extend the lead to 2-0 at the Rat Verlegh Stadion.
In a dazzling counterattack, Godts received a pass from Weghorst, maneuvered past Raul Paula and Jensen, then outmaneuvered Leemans, only to beat the same duo again after they attempted to block him, before skillfully rounding the goalkeeper Bielica.
Some of the opposition players could only stand and admire his brilliance…

ESPN Netherlands likened this goal to one of the most stunning strikes from the young Zlatan Ibrahimović back in 2004.
Interestingly, that goal was also scored against NAC Breda.
