#2 AFC Ajax vs NAC Breda: Eredivisie 2004-05

One of the best goals in his career was also his final goal for Ajax, as he would soon leave for Juventus after having disagreements with Rafael van der Vaart because he allegedly intentionally injured the Dutchman. As van der Vaart recovered from injury and saw the match from the corporate box, Zlatan was busy amazing the entire world in just one simple run.

As he received the ball a few ways from the box, Zlatan decided to look for opportunities. He pushed a defender off himself and then took a fake shot. He followed that up with another fake shot.

After dribbling for a few seconds, he took another fake shot, and another one after that. After he drew the goalkeeper out, Zlatan took a final fake shot, passed the ball to his left foot and scored an absolutely otherworldly goal - the like of which the Eredivisie had never seen before.

This goal won the Eurosport 2004 Goal of the Year award. It is also known as his Maradona goal, as the commentator yelled 'Maradona can do it, Zidane can do it, but Ibrahimovic can do it too'. How correct did that end up being?
