As far as first goals of tournaments come, they cannot get better than this. This superb Odil Akhmedov goal against Qatar for Uzbekistan was the first goal of the 2011 AFC Asian Cup. Uzbekistan won the game 2-0 in Doha.
An absolute cracker of a goal from Odil Akhmedov, from a good 30 metres out.

AC Milan vs Cagliari- January 6, 2011
That is precisely what happened for Sierra Leone’s Rodney Strasser, who scored the winning goal in AC Milan’s 1-0 win over Cagliari.
There is however a hint of offside in the Strasser goal as you can see in the video.
