Was it a shot or a cross? It won’t matter for Hajduk Split’s Marko Livaja after he opened the scoring against Osijek in Croatia on Sunday. The 27-year-old fired home from a near-impossible angle to give his side the lead. Osijek had the last laugh, though, when they came back to win the top-flight match 2-1.

it was an attempted cross, clearly. lol, dude looked up at his teammate, and he didn't hit it as you would a strike, but rather as a pass.
Livajaaa❤💙
And they still lost
Cross
Shot
HZV❤️💙
Gived his head up…and thinking;No way to dangerous assist pass..shot!It's a goal or own goal!!That's the way it is.
I think it was a shot. He tricked goalie by looking at his team mate. If you played football you can see that his foot did not miss the ball.
Superb geometry

Έλα μωρη Αεκάραααααα
Look at the way he struck the ball, that was clearly meant to be a pass
Pain
It was shot. The kick was intentionally too strong and too high to be a cross.
I bet he tried to cross
There’s no way anyone believes he meant that😂
No shot , no cross just livaja magic
This is no magic this is luck
Roberto Carlos, Maicon, Livaja
If that was intentional, he wouldn't be playing in Cro league.
Marco simic cannot doing this
Goal
Puskas award material right there
Wow
Anyone who ever played football knows that this was a shot at goal and not a cross…
And to answer your question , this was meant to be cross . Marko Livaja said that in interview.
I think that he shot, because he lift his head and saw where is goal and goalkeeper
