Brazilian youth lashes an 80-yard volley in São Paulo's prestigious Copinha

The São Paulo Youth Football Cup, known as the Copinha, is a world-renowned staging ground for some of Brazil's most prodigious U-20 talents. Monstrous footballers like Endrick, Kaká, Neymar and Vini Jr have all shined in the competition, and we learned a new name on Tuesday: Dieguinho.

The 19-year-old plays for Hercílio Luz's U-20 team, and they went up against Capital CF during the group stage of the competition. 

Leading 3-2 in the second half, Dieguinho had to deal with an aerial ball inside his own third. The Brazilian cracked a thunderous volley that reached the heavens, struck the water-logged pitch on the edge of Capital's box and then looped over the keeper before squirming into the back of the net. He really laced this one.    

I don't know what he's saying here but his teammates are very pleased with him.
