Carsten Kammlott is now the striker Rene Higuita always secretly wanted to be..
If you were to ask us to find a contender for the next Puskas Award, we probably wouldn't go straight to the 3. Fußball-Liga.
That's because we're pretty shortsighted. As it turns out, German football's third tier is capable of producing quality goals to rival any in the world - just ask RW Erfurt striker Carsten Kammlott.
The 25-year-old was playing in his team's game with Dynamo Dresden and, with Erfurt 1-0 down to the Saxon side, he suddenly produced a moment of excellence as good as anything you'll see this season.
With a cross coming into the box behind him, Kammlott leapt into the air and acrobatically scorpion kicked the ball past the keeper's despairing dive. He then charged about the pitch in total abandon. Fair enough. What a goal.
