Olivier Giroud scored a beauty for AC Milan vs FC Koln. His goal looks even better in bodycam footage taken by a FC Koln player during the game.

“Using MindFly in football brings the excitement of the pitch to the fans. Picking the ball up on the edge of the box, Giroud cut inside and curled a beautiful effort into the top corner. A FC Koln defender was wearing the bodycam and the footage captured of Giroud’s first goal was stunning. It’s fascinating to see how the pitch looks from a player’s perspective.

Milan started their pre-season with a 2-1 win away to FC Koln, secured by a fantastic early Olivier Giroud brace, to win the Telekom Cup.

Giroud drilled just wide and opened the scoring with a sensational goal. Ciprian Tatarusanu had to make a save from close range before Giroud made it 2-0 with a slightly deflected curler into the far top corner, sparked by the Pierre Kalulu counter-attack and Brahim Diaz assist. Ante Rebic started it by winning a tackle in midfield, spreading it for Junior Messias to a Rebic back-heel flick until Giroud dinked it delightfully over the on-rushing goalkeeper.

The sides selected by the two coaches for the Telekom Cup friendly.

The Rossoneri win the 2022 Telekom Cup thanks to the Frenchman's brace.

AC Milan denied their opponents space and looked to manage the ball in an attempt to lower the intensity of the game even more. In the final 15 minutes, however, the hosts shook things up, making use of the flanks in particular to try and trouble an alert Mirante. The German side reduced the arrears in the 86th minute: Arrey-Mbi’s header hit the bar before Hector's volley was nodded in by Dietz. AC Milan’s defence remained solid in the closing stages as the Rossoneri comfortably saw the game out. The pace wasn’t so high in the second half with opportunities few and far between. On the 16-minute mark, the Frenchman opened the scoring: Rebić combined with Messias and found Giroud with a delicious back-heel; the latter then dinked the ball over Schwäbe and tapped it into the net. The Diavolo doubled their advantage after 36 minutes as Giroud controlled the ball and curled it past Schwäbe via a deflection off Chabot. The two teams headed into the break with the Rossoneri two to the good. There were many interesting moments in the first half in particular, with Díaz, Rebić and a particularly inspired Giroud displaying all of their quality.
