The world football governing body was reacting to Maart’s goal for the Kaizer Chiefs in the 1-0 win over Orlando Pirates on Saturday.
“This strike from @KaizerChiefs Yusuf Maart could be one for the #Puskas list,” Fifa tweeted on Tuesday.
Maart sent FNB Stadium full house into a frenzy with his long-range shot that earned Chiefs Soweto bragging rights.
Chiefs won the ball in Pirates’ half before feeding it to Maart, who timed his run to perfection before picking his range.
The clever-footed Maart spotted Pirates keeper Siyabonga Mpontshane off the line.
The Amakhosi star then unleashed an absolute stunner in the 74th minute.
A stunning goal to win the #SowetoDerby 💥

It was so powerful a drive retreating Mpontshane could not deal with it.
