Soccer-Brilliant Farias individual goal caps Cagliari win

MILAN, April 26 (Reuters) - Diego Farias ran from inside his own half to score one of the best Serie A goals of the season and cap a shock 3-1 win for relegation candidates Cagliari at Fiorentina on Sunday.

The 24-year-old Brazilian collected the ball and charged 50 metres down the touchline, leaving one defender in his wake before tricking his way past a second with a cheeky backheel.

He then cut inside and applied the finishing touch by slipping the ball through a defender's legs and into the far corner to give Gianluca Festa a winning start as Cagliari's third coach of the season.
