Save referenceCuriosity Gap
The frame stops one second before the strike, with the wall set and the keeper waiting. Your brain wants the moment finished, and the only way to see the ball fly is to click. The full stadium adds weight, as this clearly mattered.
The title promises goals worth remembering, plural.
The image holds the breath before one famous strike.
If your content has a payoff moment, show the instant just before it lands, not the result. An unfinished action pulls harder than a finished one because the viewer clicks to complete it.
Freeze the second before the payoff, never the payoff itself.

The #2 in the title. A stranger on the homepage reads part two as arriving mid-series and scrolls. Let each entry stand alone.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
