e com direito a (algo)
I found several examples with "entitled to a goal kick", but the meaning was literal. In this particular context, it seems to be figurative.
What would be a good, colloquial English equivalent? If possible, an idiom.
L2: EN (US)
Register: idiomatic, figurative
PS: The translation has to fit both the example sentence and the dictionary entry.

: You are correct that merecendo=deserving but your other suggestion of 'super-rapid goal' is much better

Nothing or 'with 2nd minute goal'
'e com direito a' is simple crap as they obviously played well, but nothing was 'deserved' or any kind of 'right'.
Discussion
I was looking for an English translation for the phrase in question. "Deservedly" won't fit in, but "deserving OF" will. Something like: Igrejinha wins the first home game and is deserving of a lightning goal.
score a lightning goal (5 results): https://www.google.com/search?q="score a lightning goal"
score a flash goal: (1 result) https://www.google.com/search?q="score a flash goal"
lighting goal (soccer) (11,300) https://www.google.com/search?q="lightning goal" soccer
flash goal (soccer) (6,900) https://www.google.com/search?q="flash goal" soccer
There is a team named "Flash", so "fash goal" might be ambiguous in some contexts. I prefer "lightning goal" because it's also more popular in Google Search.
From EN into PT:
"Indeed, over two thirds of those polled believed that the Nigeria international was the most deserving of a Goal 50 spot among the African absentees" (Goal.com). (De fato, mais de dois terços dos entrevistados acreditam que o Internacional nigeriano era o que mais tinha direito a uma vaga no Goal 50 entre os ausentes africanos.) Alternatively: "... o mais merecedor".

I don't fully understand the question, though. You seem to be asking how to translate "e com direito a" rather than "e com direito a gol relâmpago". That depends on what follows "direito a", and you seem to be implying it's something other than "gol relâmpago".
