In 2009, a young Dominik Szoboszlai stood just a few feet away from his football idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, as a wide-eyed mascot — a dream moment for any aspiring player.
Fast forward to tonight, and Szoboszlai has written a story straight out of football fantasy. The Hungarian captain scored a dramatic 91st-minute equaliser to cancel out Ronaldo’s brace, keeping Hungary’s World Cup hopes alive in breathtaking fashion.
What began as admiration on the sidelines has now come full circle on the pitch — a reminder that dreams, no matter how distant, can come true.
A night Szoboszlai — and football fans everywhere — will never forget.
