Lorenzo Insigne may not receive another call-up for Italy, but he demonstrated his enduring skill with a signature curling goal for Toronto FC in the MLS.

The former Napoli leader cut inside from the left flank and executed a precise right-footed strike, bending wickedly into the far top corner.

This particular move has been his trademark for numerous years, almost anticipated by opponents, yet they struggle to thwart it effectively.

In Naples, this finish has become iconic, so much so that a unique term, “tiraggir,” was coined to encapsulate its essence by combining ‘tiro a giro,’ the Italian phrase for a curler.
