Jefferson Angulo golazo vs Itagüí Ditaires, Apertura 2011 Colombia
On 19 March 2011 Colombian side Millonarios recorded their third win of the season in a 2-1 win against high flying Primera A new boys Itagüí Ditaires. The fallen giants of Colombian football had to come from a goal behind after this great strike from Cleiter Alzáte however Jefferson Angulo's individual effort for the winner was every bit as good.
Cleider Alzáte golazo contra Millonarios, Apertura 2011 Colombia
On 19 March 2011 newly promoted Colombian Primera División side Itagüí Ditaires played Millonarios with the opportunity to join Once Caldas on sixteen points at the top of the division. Things didn't work out well for them as they suffered a 2-1 defeat, only their second defeat of the season. They did score one of the goals of the Colombian season so far. Lionard Pajoy bamboozled the Millonarios defence with a number of gambetas and turns before playing the ball back to Cleider Alzáte who calmly curled a shot into the far top corner of the Millonarios goal.
Golazo: Luis Páez vs Deportivo Pereira, Primera A Colombia, Apertura 2011
On 27 February 2011 Junior played Deportivo Pereira in the fourth round of the Colombian Apertura 2011 tournament. Junior secured an important 2-1 win thanks to this spectacular individual goal from Luis Páez.
The goal was however overshadowed when Pereira's Panamanian defender Luis Moreno kicked Junior's owl mascot off the pitch!
Luis Moreno owl abuse
On 27 February 2011 Junior faced Deportivo Pereira in the Colombia Primara A. The home team managed to earn a 2-1 win in an entertaining game to get their title challenge back on track . The winning goal was a spectacular individual effort from Luis Páez but it was overshadowed by this moment of animal cruelty.
The incident started when an attempted clearance from the Pereira full back hit the Junior club mascot. Questions have to be asked as to why the owl had been allowed to wander about on the pitch in the middle of the game but the real shocker came a few seconds later when Pereira's Panamanian defender Luis Moreno decided to get the clearly injured animal off the pitch by booting it into touch.
The owl survived with only a minor fracture to it's right leg. The home crowd then shouted abuse at Moreno for the rest of the game and chanted "murderer" at him. After the game Moreno had to be escorted off the field by police and then said that he was sorry and that he only flicked it up with his foot to see if it could fly.
If the authorities bow to public opinion on the matter then Moreno looks set to suffer some severe punishment, whether from the football authorities or through criminal charges for animal cruelty.
Update:
According to press reports the owl died of shock two days later, Moreno is getting death threats and faces up to three months in jail.

Game of the week: 13 October 2010
10 October 2010: There is only one candidate for game of the week this week. One of the greatest Cali Derbies ever.
Deportivo Cali recorded a 6-3 win against América de Cali with a spectacular hat-trick from Argentine forward Martín Morel who scored a free kick for Deportivo's 2nd goal, a bicycle kick for their third and a magnificent long range strike from within the centre circle for their 5th.
This was not Morel's first brilliant hat trick in an incredible high scoring goalfest this season, he netted another 3 goals in a 5-3 win against Once Caldas on 5 Spetember, in which he scored their 2nd, 4th and 5th goals.
