Japanese footballer Mizuho Sakaguchi scored an absolutely breathtaking goal on Tuesday night to help her team advance to the Women’s World Cup quarter-final after defeating the Netherlands.

The goal was something you would expect to see in the FIFA video game where there were several tricks leading up to Sakaguchi hitting the ball into the back of the net.

If you haven’t seen it yet, watch it below. Or if you have seen it, watch it again (and again and again).
