Usain Bolt Scores First Professional Football Goal
Usain Bolt Scores Two Goals On Professional Football Debut
Jamaican sprint legend, Usain Bolt, has scored his first professional football goal on Friday in a pre-season game for Australia’s Central Coast Mariners.
Starting up front in his maiden game for the club, 32-year old Bolt who is unrelenting in his desire to get a professional contract and play professionally, scored a double against Macarthur South West United in Sydney.
He scored his first goal with his left foot after some poor play from their opponents allowed him to slot in a goal in the 55th minute of the game.
What. A. Game. @usainbolt, the footballer scores two goals in our 4-0 win. ⚡️
That will go down as one of the most memorable games in Australian football history. Congrats, Usain. Don’t think limits. ?? #CCMFC pic.twitter.com/Ug0CrlO0xX

There was still enough time for the Jamaican to score a second goal in the 69th minute as he capitalised on a defensive mix-up before he was substituted six minutes later with his team leading 4-0.
Bolt joined the A-League club in August for an indefinite trial after retiring from the track in 2017.
