Brazilian club Corinthians (Sport Club Corinthians Paulista) immortalized 12 of the team's most memorable goals, in an initiative dubbed The Goal of the Wall (Gol de Muro).

Described/defined as:

The Goal of the Wall is scored with sweat and courage. It could be scored with a heel pass, but not necessarily, it is. It is considered the ones scored with the foot, head, shin, with that little part of the toe´s broken nail or anything else that could be done. Eventually scored in the additional time in very desperate moments. It is the breath taking one, which turns into screams, songs and widespread euphoria. It is intrinsically linked to People´s Republic of Corinthians. Is an emblematic goal that decides and moves the crowd.

Using walls as the canvas, 12 evocative, atmospheric, almost ethereal, goal-related moments, were captured and pictured for posterity:
