Hungarian teenager Daniel Zsori beat off competition from Lionel Messi and Juan Fernando Quintero to win the 2019 FIFA Puskas award.
Barcelona legend Messi has still surprisingly never landed honour of scoring the most 'beautiful goal' in the award's 11-year history despite seven nominations and this was only the second time he's reached the final three.
Messi, River Plate star Quintero and Hungarian youngster Daniel Zsori all received more public votes than the other seven initial nominees, which included Crystal Palace's Andros Townsend and LA Galaxy's Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Voting closed on September 1 and the remaining three goals went forward to a vote among FIFA Legends, who decided the winner.
Below you can watch the final three goals as well as the seven other initial contenders. The winner was announced on September 23 at The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony in Milan.
WINNER: Daniel Zsori - Debrecen FC vs Ferencvรกros (16 February 2019)
Zsori was just 18 when making his league debut and ended it by scoring a stoppage-time winner with an overhead kick!

Lionel Messi - Real Betis vs FC Barcelona (17 March 2019)
Messi sealed the 51st hat-trick of his sensational career in trademark genius fashion, delicately producing a first-time chipped effort over Real Betis goalkeeper Pau Lopez and in off the crossbar. Few would have complained if he bagged his first Puskas Award with this goal.
The Puskas awards wouldn't be the same without a Lionel Messi nomination.
