Not the highest quality file, but you can appreciate Niko's technique for the opener and the assist for the second goal. The fourth goal by Padova was also a beaut. 
Seems to be a very popular player, celebrated by all his teammates for the goal and the assist. In this instance it was interesting to see everyone converging on him to celebrate and not on the goalscorer. 
I also watched an interview on the Padova website, Niko said he'd never scored a goal like that, especially off his left foot. 
He said he continues to concentrate on defense which is not the strongest aspect of his game.
Apparently Kirwan Sr wakes up at 2.30am to watch Niko play each game and has been learning lots about football in order to understand it better and provide advice. 

3 for 3 for Padova. Great start to the season. They are back in action on Wednesday, again versus Legnano, but this time in the Serie C Cup.

Incredibly, Niko got a second assist (lovely step over and driving run, pin point pass at 5:27) but it was chalked off due to offside.
