It all started from the left lane, where the Faro kid received the ball and set off on an impressive run after a technical “Brazilian”, a famous execution used by great players like Neymar or Ronaldinho. With a quick change of direction and a highly effective technique, he passed the first opponent, after which he continued to advance towards the box.
Although he was surrounded by several defenders, Caras kept control of the ball in a very small space, successively outpaced the opponents and penetrated into the box, where he created an important opportunity for his team.
The action was also appreciated by the Hagi Academy, which shared the images on social networks.

Hagi Academy: “When talent meets courage”
The academy's official page described the phase in a post that quickly garnered backlash from fans.
“When talent meets courage, phases emerge that bring the spectators to their feet! At only 13 years old, Alexandru Caraș offered one of those actions that stay in your mind: a cascade of dribbles, passing opponents one after the other and a finish that went wide of the goal in a friendly match played in Turkey.”
The footage quickly garnered comments from fans, many of whom praised the kid's technical qualities.
-
“Player can be sold directly to FCSB”
-
“Let the child grow up nicely, time will tell if it will be right or not. It's too early to talk, especially since now football is easy, it's a game, but in the seniors it won't be like that anymore.”
-
“That was the phase of his career. At 18, even if he's good, no one takes him if he doesn't have someone in the federation or someone to 'put' him somewhere
-
“Well done Alex! Same!”
-
“The best striker in Romania at his age!”
-
“He must be allowed to dribble and force himself. There is a lack of this kind of footballers in Romania.”
