A historic exploit for Corventina

On Wednesday, November 13, 2024, Haitian star Melchie Dumornay, aka "Corventina", scored a 46-meter lob for Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions League against AS Roma's Romanian goalkeeper, Camelia Ceasar, where King Pelé himself had failed in the World Cup in Guadalajara, Mexico, on June 3rd, 1970. Since then, in 54 years, all competitions, genders and categories combined, there have only been about fifteen successes in this shot, which is known to be relatively difficult to execute because the dosage allowing the ball to fall back inside the playing area or into the goal without being intercepted takes into account various variables. The author of this gesture must, in a very short period of time, take into account the opposing position and his own position on the ground to succeed, hence the phenomenal scale of the remarkable feat of "Corventina".
