On January 9, 2019, Arslanmurad Amanov scored one of the best goals in the history of the Asian Cup against the goalkeeper of the Japanese national team Gonda Shuichi.

Let us remind that in the 27th minute of the game, having received a pass from Ruslan Mingazov, Amanov worked on the ball, and then from 35 meters sent it into the Japanese goal. The speed of the ball was 113 km per hour.

That goal in the first round of the 2019 Asian Cup put the Turkmen team ahead, and the meeting ended with the victory of the Japanese football players with a minimal advantage - 3:2.

It should be noted that today, 32 years old Arslanmurad Amanov is a midfielder of the national team of Turkmenistan, as well as the “Ahal” football club.

He also owns another unique achievement - in a match with the Qatari “Al-Gharafa”, Amanov scored three goals, thereby becoming the first football player from Turkmenistan who managed to score a hat-trick in the AFC Champions League.
