Cristiano Ronaldo and Darío Benedetto rise in the air and exploit the rival. An identical leap?
Boca Juniors received Tigre for the third round of the Professional Football League, in the Bombonera and wowed its fans because won, beaten and appreciated. 5-3 for the team Sebastiano Battaglia with two goals Dario Benedettotwo by Exequiel Zeballos and one by an own goal.
a great game. But one show in particular caught the attention of xeneizes fans and viewers in general: The incredible jump of Benedetto to overturn the 1-0 of Boca.
Pol Fernández received the ball after recovering from Figal on his own pitch. He played, almost by heart, with Alan Varela. There have been 14 passes in a row, where almost all of the local players have touched the round. Until the ball reached Sebastián Villa.

The Colombian striker advanced the ball with his right leg, looked up for a teammate and found Aaron Molinas free. The steering wheel had faked the mark, received and touched again. Villa ran alone to the finish line as a free gazelle. Before the field ended, he entered a center left.
It had been just ten minutes and Dario Benedetto I had a clear chance. Her partner’s was a passage in my mind. But there was Sebastián Prieto’s sign in the area. The Tubefar from fighting, jumped into the penalty area with tremendous athletic ability. He made a big difference to the defender, he aimed high all by himself and scored the first goal of the game.
The image was eloquent. It also gave the sensation of being suspended in the air. The force with which he pushed forced him to turn onto his back before hitting the grass again. The social networks exploded with the goal that opened the scoreboard of the match against Bullfighter of Vittoria.
And a comparison appeared in the minds of football lovers. The leap of Tube has been compared to those who usually do Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese champion scores his goals with a similar elevation. He doesn’t seem to belong to the athlete group mortal who are dedicated to football.
On the seventeenth date of Serie A, the 2019-2020 season, the Portuguese champion received the service on the left wing of the Brazilian Alex Sandro. He appeared on the goalkeeper’s near post, behind the defender. He jumped with incredible strength and won the aerial duel against Sampdoria to score the 2-1 header. Some documents claim that he has reached two and a half meters in height.
But there were also two other similar ones. In the 2011 Copa del Rey finalWearing a Real Madrid shirt, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared in injury time behind Barcelona defender Adriano and headed the winning goal from Di María’s cross. The height reached by the attacker surprised everyone. Even the time left in the air.
In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, against Manchester United, there was another goal from the Portuguese star that remained to be remembered. Even with the shirt Meringue. After a cross from Di Maria (again) leapt into the air, he remained suspended almost defying the law of gravityand attacked the ball with a head turn.
Where had such a target been seen before? In a World Cup. Just at the World Cup in Italy 90. Argentina, world champion, received Cameroon for the first round of the group stage. The goal was scored Omam Bijik at 10pm of the second phase. The jump was similar to that of Ronaldo and Benedetto against the Tiger.
The Cameroonian appeared behind Sensini, headed and scored the winning goal against Nery Pumpido’s weak response. The air distance he took from the Argentine surprised the world in the opening match of the World Cup and against the last champion Diego Maradona had. A physical skill rarely seen.
Benedict’s present
Darío Benedetto joined Boca Juniors, the club of his loves, at the beginning of the year after a brief spell in Europe where it was difficult for him to settle down. The Tube he wanted to go back to having his second stop in xeneize and made his dream come true.
The numbers confirm this. Your present is extraordinary. Benedict registers 12 goals in 19 games as a starter since his return to Boca. So far this year only two players have scored more goals than him in local football: Julián Álvarez (15 goals) and Mauro Boselli (13 screams).
