In Australia, the fastest man on the planet, Usain Bolt, who sweat poured on the football field, scored his first goals in his professional career.
32-year-old Bolt, who became a left winger, spent the whole summer training with the strongest team in the Australian football league, the Central Coast Mariners. We have already announced that U. Bolt played his first professional match earlier, but today the Jamaican managed to open his goal tally.
Preparing for the season, U. Bolt's team played a friendly match against Macarthur South West United. The Central Coast Mariners won the match with a score of 4:0, and the Olympic champion himself scored two goals.
Bolt played in the starting lineup. He reached his first goal in professional football in the 57th minute of the match - the Jamaican stopped the ball excellently and hit it with his left foot straight into the net.
The second goal did not take long to wait - in the 68th minute, the goalkeeper and defender in the opponents' ranks did not communicate, and Bolt was left alone with the ball in front of the goal. The shot was accurate, and after seven minutes, the Jamaican left the field with a double.
Interviewed after the match, U. Bolt said: "The first time in the starting lineup and two goals - it's a truly amazing feeling. I am happy because being here gives me the opportunity to show the world that I can improve."
These were the final preparation matches - the Central Coast Mariners will start the season in the Australian A-League on October 21. They will face Brisbane Roar.
