Ever seen a ball almost stop in mid-air and then hook left?
Behold, Gareth Bale.
The undisputed best player on Chris Coleman's side gave Wales a 1-0 lead early in its Euro 2016 opener against Slovakia Saturday, firing home a ridiculous free-kick that dipped and swerved, leaving the Slovak 'keeper helpless.
Gareth Bale's goal for Wales is only the 2nd goal from direct from a free-kick at the Euros since 2004 (Pirlo vs Croatia in 2012).
