🗳The FUTVE English Goal of the Month: June 2021 - Vote Below!🗳

With over XX goals scored, multiple hattricks, solo efforts, and team goals, this is the hardest choice so far!

Like or RT your favourite in the thread below to vote! Winner announced 4pm 🇻🇪/9pm🇬🇧 tomorrow.

A) Marlon Fernández (@DvoTachira) vs. Hermanos Colmenarez

He receives the ball 25 yards out, takes a touch, and sends it flying up and over the ‘keeper with thunderous force! Golazo, indeed.

❤️ or ♻️ to vote for Marlon! 🟡⚫️

B) Edson Rivas (@EstudiantesMEFC) vs. Hermanos Colmenarez

A delicately lofted ball into the box may have been tempting to volley but U20 international Edson Rivas generates plenty of power with his head. The game finished 6-2!

❤️ or ♻️ to vote for Edson! 🔴⚪️

C) Juan Camilo Zapata (@HnosColmenarez) vs. Estudiantes

Two years ago, Zapata was playing amateur football in Medellin after his pro career stalled. Now the Colombian is lighting up Liga FUTVE with strikes like this!

❤️ or ♻️ to vote for Juan! 🔵⚪️

D) Samson Akinyoola (@Caracas_FC) vs. Metropolitanos

The best striker in the league? Many think so. The Benin born 21yo was as cold as you like with this one-touch turn and finish. Akingola, amirite?

❤️ or ♻️ to vote for Samson!🔴⚫️

E) Raudy Guerrero (@FCGranValencia) vs. Carabobo

Against your old club and 30 yards out? Go on then. What a certified rocket from the number 10. It even comes off the crossbar for added aesthetics.

❤️ or ♻️ to vote for Raudy! 🔵⚪️

F) Yanniel Hernández (@ZamoraFutbolC) vs. Trujillanos

When your left back gets a rush of blood to the head and doesn’t stop running! What a way to score your first top flight goal. Delicious finish at the end of a galloping run.

❤️ or ♻️ to vote for Yanniel! ⚪️⚫️

G) Maurice Cova (@DvoTachira) vs. Portuguesa

Remarkably, the cameraman missed this in real time, so we’ve only got the angled slow-mo replays. They’re still wonderful. Postage stamp.

❤️ or ♻️ to vote for Maurice!🟡⚫️

H) Yefferson Colmenarez (@Portuguesa_FC) vs. Estudiantes

Already 2-0 up with 94’ played, so you might as well have a crack. You’re a 23yo defender without a Liga FUTVE goal to your name…

…not anymore he isn’t!

❤️ or ♻️ to vote for Yefferson!🔴⚫️

I) Rodrigo Febres (@UCVFCOFICIAL) vs. Atlético Venezuela

Febres had already bagged a header in the first half so as this corner comes in you’re expecting him to nod it at goal. Oh no, not today – acrobatics are in order! Great connection.

❤️ or ♻️ to vote for Rodrigo!🟡🔵

J) Leomar Mosquera (@ZamoraFutbolC) vs. Trujillanos

Subbed on at 66’, scores a worldie at 73’. Mosquera wasn’t mucking about. The 20yo midfielder hadn’t scored a league goal before June and that was his first. Now he has three!

❤️ or ♻️ to vote for Leomar! ⚪️⚫️
