In a remarkable moment during a Moroccan Botola Pro match, Wydad Athletic Club defender Amine Aboulfath scored a stunning rabona goal from outside the penalty area. The goal occurred during Wydad's 2-0 away victory over MAS Fez on April 12, 2026, at the Fez Stadium.
Video footage verified by multiple sports outlets shows Aboulfath, positioned to the right of the box, executing the audacious back-heeled strike with his left foot. The ball curled past the Fez goalkeeper into the far corner of the net. The rabona, a technique where a player kicks the ball by wrapping the kicking leg behind the standing leg, is rare, especially from a defender and from such distance.
The goal sealed the victory for Wydad Casablanca, with the first score coming from striker Zakaria Draoui. The win is significant for Wydad's position in the league standings as they compete for the title. The spectacular strike has garnered widespread attention on social media and sports highlight reels, being hailed as an early contender for goal of the season.
Amine Aboulfath, 27, is primarily known as a center-back. This unexpected moment of technical brilliance from the defender provided a highlight in a match that was otherwise a standard league fixture between two of Morocco's top clubs.
