Former Uruguay international striker Diego Forlan broke his duck for Hong Kong Premier League side Kitchee on Sunday – and he did it in some style.
Forlan arrowed a 35-yard free kick into the top corner of Wong Tse-yeung’s goal leaving the keeper with no chance.

The former European Golden Boot winner opened the scoring before adding his side’s fourth as they cruised to a 7-0 win over BC Rangers.
