The best nutmeg you will see this week
Women's football may not have the same respect that the men's game does, but that's not to say that the players are not blessed with great quality. Just ask Portugal's Jessica Silva.
Women's football may not have the same respect that the men's game does, but that's not to say that the players are not blessed with great quality. Just ask Portugal's Jessica Silva.
In a Women's World Cup qualifier between Portugal and Belgium, Silva took all the plaudits after a wonderful piece of trickery late on helped he side salvage a draw.
Under pressure on the byline, the Portuguese produced an outlandish skill show to slip the ball through her opponents legs and get a cross into the box, with the delivery leading to her side winning a penalty.
It's not the first time that Silva has caught the eye for her ability on the ball, having previously been filmed nutmegging two players in one movement in a match against China.
