“I Didn’t Know I Could Do That” — Patrick Dorgu Stuns with Breakthrough Goal
Patrick Dorgu summed it up perfectly himself. After scoring a stunning goal, the young defender could only smile and admit: “It was a good hit, I didn’t know I could do that.”
The moment came instinctively. There was no hesitation, no overthinking — just a clean strike that flew past the goalkeeper and left the crowd in disbelief. For Dorgu, it was not just a goal, but a breakthrough moment that showcased confidence, technique, and a willingness to back himself on the big stage.
Still early in his senior career, Dorgu has been praised for his athleticism and defensive awareness, but this finish added another layer to his game. It was the type of goal that changes perception — from promising prospect to player capable of producing decisive moments.
His reaction afterwards was as refreshing as the strike itself.
There was no rehearsed celebration, no inflated claims. Just honest surprise and a sense of discovery, as if he had unlocked a new part of his ability in real time.
Coaches often talk about players “finding themselves” during matches, and this felt like one of those moments. The goal lifted the team, shifted momentum, and gave Dorgu a memory he will carry forward — proof that belief can arrive suddenly and stay for good.
Sometimes footballers surprise the crowd. Sometimes, they surprise themselves.
