A 9-year-old boy from West Auckland has been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo after scoring what many believe could be the goal of the season for all ages.
Norwest U10 Italy player Robert Richmond made his way up for a corner at Huapai Domain when suddenly the ball was whipped intothe goal box.
With back to goal Richmond didn't hesitate, launching himself in the air, performing a bicycle kick and sending the ball rocketing into the bottom corner beyond an astonished goalkeeper.
Teammates were left stunned at Richmond's insane piece of skill, chasing him as they celebrated the wonder goal that was captured on camera by supporters on the sideline.

One fan suggested the "Wellington Phoenix will be signing him up".
"I can't put it in from 6 yards out and there are 9-year-olds doing this!"
Richmond's goal comes just months after Real Madrid star Gareth Bale scored a stunning bicycle kick in their Champions League final clash with Liverpool.
