Stefan Kiessling of Bayer Leverkusen might be the top scorer in the Bundesliga but coolest goalscorer in Germany is quite likely 14-year-old Samir Betet. The young man from Muenster won the "Red Bull Schuetzenfest" on Sunday that was initiated by Germany's international striker Mario Gomez. The 14-year-old whizkid duly impressed the jury, his mentor and rivals with two precise shots into a VW bus hanging on a junk-yard crane.

In the weeks before Sunday's final, several hundred talented soccer players had downloaded their video applications onto Mario Gomez's website and the top 10 were selected as finalists to meet Gomez in his new soccer hometown, where they were given a tour of the city in a double-decker bus. Aside from junk cars, they took creative shots at every available opportunity: a wind turbine in the courtyard of the German museum; a giant round artwork at the Luisenplatz; the door of a double-decker bus or the equestrian sculpture of Duke Maximilian at the Witteslbacher Platz.

Gomez was already duly impressed by Samir's application video. "It was pretty incredible the way he scored a goal off a rebound from a basketball backboard or kicked a ball into a trash can in the first floor," Gomez said. "Today he proved what he could do live!"

A shot by Florian Fromholzer of Nuremberg at the Maximilian sculpture was also quite spectacular as was a shot by Anton Kusykin from Schwalmstadt on a double-decker -- they took second and third place, respectively. Gomez, who helped create the event, also connected with a creative shot -- across a row of cars on the Luisenring, through the equestrian sculpture and into a truck.
