„"Serie A“ championship this weekend two players did what only 6 players did in the previous decade - Hakan Calhanoglu and Juan Cuadrado scored directly from the corner flag. H. Calhanoglu's goal came in the 15th minute against „AS Roma“. The Turk sent such a ball into the penalty area, which the Roman goalkeeper R. Patricio failed to react to and let the ball slip through his hands, and the defenders also failed to intervene. Meanwhile, J. Cuadrado's goal was even more beautiful. The Colombian curled the ball into the far corner of the goal and Salvatore Sirigu had no chance, the defenders also failed to react to such a curved strike. Both players' goals helped their teams secure victories: Milan's „Inter“ beat „AS Roma“ 3:0 away, while „Juventus“ comfortably defeated „Genoa“ 2:0, who failed to threaten the opponent's goal. Since 2010, the following players have also scored goals directly from the corner flag in „Serie A“ matches: Antonio Di Natale, Papu Gomez, M. Rigoni, Rodrigo de Paul, Erick Pulgar, and Jose Callejon.
