Mohammed Kudus’ stunning solo goal against Freiburg in the Europa League has earned him a nomination for the prestigious 2024 FIFA Puskás Award.
The 24-year-old Ghanaian midfielder delivered this unforgettable moment during West Ham United’s dominant 5-0 victory in March 2024. Starting deep inside his half, Kudus embarked on an electrifying solo run, weaving through three Freiburg defenders before unleashing a powerful strike that left the goalkeeper helpless. The goal shows his flair, technical brilliance, and ability to shine in high-stakes matches.
This spectacular strike was one of five goals Kudus scored during a memorable Europa League campaign, where he played a pivotal role in West Ham’s success. His consistent performances throughout the tournament showcased his skill and determination, earning him admiration from fans and pundits alike.
His solo goal against Freiburg not only secured West Ham’s progress but also highlighted his talent on the global stage, drawing comparisons to legendary dribblers like Lionel Messi.
Kudus now stands alongside some of football’s elite in contention for the Puskás Award, including Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho and fellow Africans like Nigeria’s Paul Onauchu.
Having already claimed West Ham’s Goal of the Season accolade, Kudus aims to bring further glory to his name and his nation.
The winner of the coveted award will be announced at the FIFA Awards ceremony in January 2025, where football fans worldwide will celebrate the game’s most breathtaking moments.
