During Braga’s 4-2 win over AEK Athens in the Europa League on Thursday, Brazilian forward Wenderson Galeno pulled off an incredible feat of control.
The 23-year-old effortlessly controlled a high, lofted ball onto his left foot, even balancing it briefly whilst he himself was off the ground.
The outrageous piece of skill was the highlight of a dazzling display, and the Brazilian star scored his side’s fourth goal in their impressive win in Greece; to seal their place in the last 32 of the competition.

Championship club Reading were previously linked with the young forward, and were rumoured to be interested in taking him on loan with a view to a permanent deal in the summer of 2019.
However, Galeno eventually signed for Braga from fellow Portuguese club Porto that summer for a fee of £2.7 million.
Since signing, he has made 54 appearances, scoring 12 goals and notching 17 assists for Carlos Carvahal’s side.
Braga are currently second in the Primeira Liga, four points behind leaders Sporting Lisbon and travel to Belenenses on Sunday.
