Enzo Fernandez executed one of the most daring passes in recent memory, leaving fans in awe.
The Chelsea midfielder started for Argentina in their first World Cup 2026 qualification match.
Enzo Fernandez has been a Chelsea fan favorite since his £105 million arrival in January.
The Chelsea midfielder started for Argentina on Thursday night's 1-0 victory against Ecuador was secured by Lionel Messi's goal in the 76th minute.
The game's other major talking point, apart from Messi's goal, was a thrilling moment given by Fernandez that wowed spectators.
Just within his own half, the 22-year-old player was presented with an uncomfortable diagonal ball that rebounded slightly behind him.
In typical situations, a player may decide to stop running, pivot, and grab the ball with their back to the goal, but Fernandez never did that.
Enzo executed a fantastic backheel pass over his and a defender's heads and into the direction of a teammate to initiate a counterattack rather than stopping his forward run.
Fans were quick to praise the midfielder on social media after the deft play.
