When he's not throwing water bottles at Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, Villarreal's Cani shows his awareness and ability by scoring from the halfway line against Osasuna. Only a few minutes after Osasuna equalized to make it 1-1 just after halftime, Cani launched this perfectly placed ball over the head of backtracking goalkeeper Ricardo to put Villarreal back on top on its way to a 4-2 win on Saturday.

Cani wouldn't have even been eligible for this match had the red card he was shown for throwing that bottle at the celebrating Mourinho from the Villrreal bench last Sunday not been reduced to a yellow card on appeal. But to Ricardo's chagrin, he played and he did this.
Maybe next time Mourinho annoys Cani, he'll take advantage of this accuracy and kick a ball at him instead of tossing a bottle. Because there most definitely will be a next time.
