Nations League
Parrot gifts Ireland a work of art that targets the Puskas
Ireland drew 2-2 with Austria in Thursday's Nations League, thanks to the two goals from Troy Parrott, the recent Betis signing, including a brilliant piece of definitive art that could be a contender for the Puskas award.
Goal in Lille according to EFE
The forward Parrott scored the decisive 2‑3 goal in Lille, according to the Barcelona‑based agency EFE. The action was recorded as the key piece of Ireland's draw.
Troy Parrott's first goal came in the tenth minute. He received the ball near the centre of the pitch, turned, left two opponents behind — the first with a nutmeg — and scored between the goalkeeper's legs.
Parrott, newly signed by Betis, is already celebrating his debut as a scorer with the green‑and‑white side's elastic. His contribution doubles Ireland's tally in the match.
The play that could win the Puskas
That goal has been described as a genuine work of art that could contend for the Puskas award. The play combines speed, technique and precision.
With the draw, Ireland maintains its position in the Nations League and demonstrates the effectiveness of its new striker. Parrott's performance reinforces expectations for the upcoming fixtures.
