The second goal reminded viewers of Lionel Messi's skill in handling tight spaces. Mateo dribbled the ball in front of the Pinecrest FC goal but could not finish when the opposing defender followed closely and blocked the shooting angle. The boy jerked the ball, causing the opponent to drift away due to inertia. Mateo easily shot into the net.
The third goal was no less spectacular. Mateo controlled the ball with his instep and then turned to shoot. The boy also showed his fiery fighting spirit. In a situation where he fell to the ground, Mateo still tried to stretch his body to pass the ball, keeping control for his team.
