Cameron Dummigan with one of the greatest volleys you'll ever see!🤩

Unfortunately for Derry, Gbemi Arubi put Dundalk back in front less than two minutes later.

@LutonReport It actually looked more clear cut with the real images.

His name is Taha Ali, and he’s just been called up to Sweden’s World Cup squad. 🇸🇪

The insane part? He was still playing FUTSAL until 2020 and didn’t make his First Division debut until he was 22 years old.

From futsal to the World Cup in 6 years. 🤯
