Brazilian player blasts free-kick registered at almost 120km/h

Edílson, who plays for Grêmio in the Brasileiro, hammered a shot measured travelling at 116 kilometres an hour.

Edílson Mendes of Brazilian side Grêmio really does have dynamite in his boots.

The 31-year-old full back hit a free-kick in a game against Sport Recife that was clocked at 116 km/h.

Unsurprisingly, Recife keeper Magrão didn't know too much about it, reacting after the ball had almost taken the back of the net out.
