We are on August 2, 1959, Pelé is only 18 years old.
But the Brazilian already scored one of his finest goals with his club Santos, against Atlético Juventus.
A brilliant goal that remained confidential and invisible for a long time since at the time no television camera could film it.
Finally, it is 55 years later, in 2014, after the collection of several testimonies including that of the player himself and thanks to technology, that this fantastic achievement of "King Pelé" was made visible in computer generated images.
A 3D reconstruction, meticulous and precise, made possible thanks to the magic of capture tools and virtual montages.
Or when technology is at the service of football history.

The world champion does not stop there since he punctuates his acrobatic action with a fourth sombrero, after a control of the knee, which eliminates the goalkeeper and allows him to push the ball into the back of the net with a whim.
