Van de Ven runs 90 meters to score stunning solo goal in Champions League

By Canadian Press on November 4, 2025.

LONDON (AP) — With a mazy 90-meter run and clinical finish, Micky van de Ven might have already scored the goal of the season in the Champions League.

The Netherlands defender collected the ball on the edge of his own area and set off on a dazzling run that saw him burst through two FC Copenhagen players, go round another near the halfway line, then sprint into the area before converting a left-foot shot inside the near post.

The 64th-minute solo goal made it 3-0 to Tottenham and was Van de Ven’s sixth goal already this season.

Not bad for a center back.
