It's a great goal and he had to run a little longer than Maradona, but it's still not as beautiful nor as difficult as the great man's.
Owairan is running into space, on the counter attack; Maradona creates space in front of him where none seems to be. Maradona's run is smooth and rhythmic, he receives the ball facing his own goal with a marker at his back and how he turns towards goal and a mesmerising few seconds later he has rounded the keeper too is just perfection.
Owairan's has its fair share of harebrained defending to taint it somewhat too.
And we haven't even bothered with the drama of the context of the match.
