Fans have voted Zoltan Gera's opening goal in Hungary's 3-3 draw against Portugal during the UEFA Euro 2016 group stage as the Goal of the Tournament.

UEFA confirmed the news on their official website, revealing Gera beat out the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri of Switzerland and Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal with his superb volley from distance.

Here's a look at the strike, via Carlsberg:

The 37-year-old scored his stunner after 19 minutes—the first of six goals in what was arguably Euro 2016's best match.

Not everyone agreed with the popular vote, however. Shaqiri's spectacular bicycle kick against Poland in the round of 16 was the favourite when the voting opened, and Bleacher Report UK couldn't believe it didn't win:

The Switzerland star also missed out on BBC Sport's award, as British fans voted for Hal Robson-Kanu's effort against Belgium. The Welshman won a UEFA fan poll for the best goal of the quarter-finals, but he couldn't overtake Gera for the top prize.
