Rivaldinho, the son of Brazil legend Rivaldo scored a stunning goal from distance in Dinamo Bucharest's 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League on Thursday.

The goal earned Dinamo a draw but it was worthy of winning any game.

The Brazilian picked the ball up just inside the Bilbao half, spun towards goal and fired an unstoppable drive high into the top corner from 35 yards.

The 22-year-old's famous father could be seen on his feet in the crowd pumping his fists in celebration.

The two have a close bone and once played together at Mogi Mirim, with both scoring in a 3-1 win over Macae in 2015.

Check the goal out for yourself below.
