Celtic and Japan legend Shunsuke Nakamura scored a HAT-TRICK of free-kicks in his farewell match on Sunday afternoon.
Best known for a prolific four-year spell with Scottish Premiership side Celtic, Nakamura was renowned for his ability from dead-ball situations.
The 45-year-old has scored some memorable goals at Parkhead during his decorated career.
From a last-gasp free kick winner against Kilmarnock to win the league title, to that famous strike against Manchester United in the Champions League.
And although his body may be slowing down, he is still scoring those iconic free kicks.
Nakamura turned out for both Yokohama and a J-Dreams XI in his farewell match at the NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Stadium, where he netted SIX times, THREE of which were from direct free kicks.
