Football fans on Twitter were quick to celebrate Luis Chavez’s stunning free-kick from range to put Mexico 2-0 up against Saudi Arabia in the must-win encounter. 

Chavez – who plies his trade at Pachuca in his home nation – fired his side into a two-goal ascendancy with the staggering curled left-footed effort into the top-right corner of the Saudi Arabian goal in the 51st minute of the game. 

The goal has been hailed as the goal of the tournament by football fans on Twitter, who were sent into a frenzy as they watched the action unfold.
