As the #9 pulls wide to the right to look for space, the #8 receives a pass from the #10 (who had dropped deep to pick-up the ball). It's not the greatest pass in the world - it leads the #8 well but it's bouncing and into a tight area. What is so great is how the #8 reacts.
He can see that the defender is closing fast, so instead of dribbling, he lays the ball off to the supporting #6 and makes a strong forward run. The #6 plays very smart ball over the defenders.
Make sure to watch it a couple times. It's a great goal.
