Middle Park FC's Joshua Evans recently experienced the thrill of going viral on social media, thanks to a stunning goal captured perfectly by a Veo camera.
The goal, which has garnered widespread attention, has reached millions of people on social media with shares on the biggest football accounts.
When the ball hit the back of the net, Joshua Evans recalls feeling pure joy and a surge of confidence in his ability to control the game. "What went through my head when the goal went in was just pure joy and a resurgence of confidence in my control of a football," he shared.
"I’ve watched it a few times—maybe 20 times—and shared it with friends and family," Joshua Evans admits with a laugh. The response has been overwhelming, with teammates celebrating the goal’s finesse and friends and family expressing their amazement at not just the goal itself but the quality of the video. “Teammates have been very happy to see me score a goal with such class and caliber,” he added.
The game against Sandringham, a rival team, was played under challenging conditions. The rainy weather affected the pitch, making the ball’s movements unpredictable. But Joshua Evans adapted, keeping the ball off the ground to counter the slippery surface. This quick thinking and technique were on full display during his goal, which helped Middle Park FC secure a solid 3-1 victory.
An amazing part of the football experience
What makes this moment even more special is that it was captured by a Veo camera. “Being part of something that has gone viral is a crazy feeling, but even better because it’s come from something I love. I’ll have that moment forever, which is really cool,” Joshua Evans reflected.
The Veo camera not only immortalized Joshua Evans’ goal but has also become a valuable tool in his development as a player. “My thoughts on Veo are that it’s fantastic, and everyone I have spoken to about it says it’s an amazing part of the football experience,” he said. By allowing players and coaches to review matches in high-quality video, Veo helps them analyze their performance in detail. “It has helped with working on my positioning and building confidence in my role as a player,” Joshua Evans noted.
For Middle Park FC and Joshua Evans, the viral moment is an example of how modern technology can enhance the football experience, providing players and coaches with insights that were once reserved for top-tier professionals. “It helps managers and coaches tell and show you what they need you to do and who to watch on the pitch,” Joshua Evans explained.
