The Aussie continued his good form for Bundesliga 2 side FC Kaiserslautern on Friday night by netting a long-range beauty that has sent Australian football fans into a frenzy. 

Check it out below.


That extraordinary effort was then followed up by an assist for his German side's second goal with Kaiserslautern going on to beat Union Berlin 4-3.

Borrello, who has represented Australia at U20 and U23 level but is yet to earn a Socceroos cap, has now scored in consecutive games and has three goals in four appearances.

Speaking to The World Game late last year, the former Brisbane Roar prodigy proclaimed he is ready to deliver for his nation.

"If I want to get called up I'm in the right place to achieve that," Borrello said.

"This is a tough, physical, fast league, which is also strong technically.

"If I were to get a call up, I'd be ready." 

Borrello played 75 games for Brisbane Roar across four seasons before moving to Germany where he has slowly but surely earned his spot in Kaiserslautern's starting side.
