Emerson dos caños contra São Paulo
On Sunday 26 June 2011 Corinthians hosted São Paulo in the 6th round of the Brasileirão 2011 tournament. On paper it should have been a tough game for Corinthians given that São Paulo were the league leaders and the only side to win all of their opening five games however Corinthians won the game 5-0 and 2nd late substitute Emerson took the opportunity to do some real showboating pulling off two nutmegs in the space of 30 seconds.
Golazo Leandro Caruso taco contra San Lorenzo, Clausura 2011
On 22 May 2011 Argentine giants River Plate needed a win against San Lorenzo in order to avoid finishing the weekend occupying one of the Primera Division relegation places. Leandro Caruso got the hosts off to a cracking start with this back-heel finish to establish a 1-0 lead (note the nutmeg from Mariano pavone in the build up play) but River goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo threw the win away with another awful goalkeeping error to leave the never relegated club in the relegation zone with only 4 games of the season remaining.
Maxi Moralez golazo vs Libertad, Copa Libertadores 2011
On 18 May 2011 Argentine league leaders Vélez Sársfield travelled to Paragauy to play Libertad in the quarter-finals of Copa Libertadores 2011. The Argentine side were defending a comfortable 3-0 lead from the first leg but Libertad were determined to make a good game of, taking the lead twice only to see Maxi Moralez equalise both goals. His second equaliser came about after this wonderful team move. Vélez bagged a couple more goals late in the game for a 2-4 win on the night and an impressive 7-2 aggregate victory.
Miguel Caneo backheel caño vs Argentinos Juniors, Apertura 2011
On 25 March 2011 Argentinos Juniors (the only unbeaten side) played Quilmes (the only side without a win) in round seven of the Apertura 2011 tournament in Argentina. The game ended in a disappointing 0-0 draw meaning that both sides kept their records. The highlight of the match was this backheel-nutmeg from Miguel Caneo of Quilmes which illustrates that even players from the worst team in the Argentine Primera know a good trick or two.
Federico Insúa gambeta vs Tecos, Apertura 2007 Mexico
Back in 2007 Mexican side Club América had a team packed with South American talent. Three of the key players were Federico Insúa of Argentina, Rodrigo López of Uruguay and Salvador Cabañas of Paraguay. One of their best performances came in a 4-1 win against Tecos in the 4th round of the 2007 Apertura when Insúa did this remarkable "gambeta" to set up López for the first goal of his hat-trick and Cabañas bagged the other goal.
Lujos: Claudio Borghi & Hugo Rubio nearly score a brilliant goal
In 1992 Argentine forward Claudio Borghi joined Chilean side Colo-Colo, despite only staying for one season he became an icon at the club and returned to manage the side in 2006 leading them to four consecutive league titles. Back in 1992 he was involved in this incredible move in a game against Palestino which nearly resulted in one of the best goals ever, however Hugo Rubio's volley hit the bar.

Golazo: Andrés Pérez rabona goal for San Lorenzo against Independiente
Colombian midfielder Andrés Pérez spent a few years playing in Argentina with Quilmes San Lorenzo and Arsenal de Sarandí.

Golazo: Damián Akerman, Morón vs Estudiantes BA, 2007
Argentine striker Damian Akerman has played professional football for a number of different clubs in Argentina, Chile and Bolivia. The club where he has spent the best part of his career is Deportivo Morón in the lower leagues of Argentine football. he is a popular player with the fans, understandably so given the quality of this goal against Club Atlético Estudiantes in 2007.
Golazo: Germán Denis vs Colón, Clausura 2007
back in early 2007 Germán Denis was still a workaday footballer but in the first game of the Cluasura 2007 tournament he hinted at the great things that were to come with this specacular flying back-heel goal for Independiente against his former side Colón in a 1-3 home defeat.
The following season Denis finshed as the top scorer in the Primera Division, earned a call up to the Argentina national team and a6.3 million Euro transfer to Italian side Napoli.
Golazo: Mariano Pavone vs Racing Club, Apertura 2004
Back in 2004 Estudiantes de La Plata were not the all conquering team we have come to know in recent years, they were a mid table side that had endured more than 20 years without a major title. The foundations of success were being built by Reinaldo "mostaza" Merlo who led the team to a respectable 4th place finish. Their star player was Mariano Pavone who lived up to his nickname of "el tanque" (the tank) with some brilliant performances. This goal against Racing Club was one of his best moments of the season.
Golazo: Dodó, Santos vs Internacional, Brasileirão 1999
In 1999 Brazilian striker joined Santos from São Paulo, he scored 30 goals in 55 league games for Santos and this was probably the pick of them. A brilliant "sombrero" to lift the ball over the defender followed by a magnificent volley into the bottom left corner of the net to give his side a 2-1 win against Internacional.
Golazo: Juan Manuel Martínez vs Racing Club, Apertura 2010
On 12 December 2010 the Apertura 2010 championship in Argentina went down to the last round of fixtures. It looked like the tournament was destined for a championship playoff after Vélez Sársfield established a 2-0 lead against Racing Club with this brilliant individual goal from Juan Manuel Martínez and an exceptional free kick from Maxi Moralex, and Estudiantes were being held 0-0 by Arsenal. It took two late goals for Estudiantes' ex Vélez striker Hernán López to secure a 5th domestic championship for the La Plata side.
Golazo: James Rodríguez, Banfield vs Lanús, Clausura 2010
On 15 February 2010 the Argentine champions Banfield hosted Lanús (the other team to have won their first Argentine championship in the last few years). The 2nd goal of the game was this classy finish from 18 year old Colombian winger James Rodríguez, who also played a part in the buildup with a caño (nutmeg) and a taco (back-heel).
Banfield couldn't retain their championship, nobody has since Boca Juniors in 2005-06 and Rodríguaz was predictably snapped up by one of the European clubs. In this case FC Porto, where he is currently rotting in the reserves.
Golazo: Gabriel Hauche (taco y caño) vs Gimnasia La Plata, Apertura 2010
On 3 December 2010 Gabriel Hauche scored the opening goal for Racing Club against Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata in the 17th round of the Apertura 2010 tournament with a brilliant back-heel nutmeg on the goalkeeper. Racing Club eventually won the game 2-0.
Neymar 7 minute hat-trick vs Goiás, Brasileirão 2010
On 21 November Brazilian side Goiás faced a must win game against Santos in the 36th round of the Brasileirão 2010, without a win they were certain to be relegated. After 11 minutes things were looking good for the home team, they had established a 1-0 lead and looked like extending Santos' run of 6 games without a win.
Danilo equalised for Santos after 19 minutes but Goiás still had a chance of saving themselves until the referee awarded Santos a penalty. Brazil's latest wonder kid 18 year old Neymar scored it on 75 minutes and by the 82nd minute he had completed his hat-trick to make the score 1-4 and Goias were relegated to Serie B.
Golazo: Mauro Zárate vs Belgrano 2007
In 2007 Vélez Sársfield striker Mauro Zárate was a hot prospect. He was the joint top scorer in the Argentine league in Apertura 2006 at the age of 19 and he started 2007 with this magnificent goal in a pre-season 3-0 win against Belgrano, his other goal in the game was also pretty good.
Within 6 months Qatari side Al-Sadd made him an offer he couldn't refuse, enough money to set himand his family up for life to sign for them. He did sign and was soon loaned out to Birmingham FC in England who inexplicably only played him in a few games as they were relegated from the Premier League. He then joined Lazio on loan and eventually signed a permanent deal with the club in 2009.
Lujos: Rúben Botta vs Estudiantes, Apertura 2010
On 13 November 2010 Tigre hosted league leaders Estudientes de La Plata in the 14th round of Apertura 2010. As the game was going into the last few minutes of the 2nd half the home team were down to 10 players after the dismissal of Román Martínez but 2-1 ahead.
Instead of running the ball into the corner flag to kill time they were intent on playing attacking football to the end, an approach epitomised by this play from 20 year old substitute Rubén Botta.
Golazo: Leopoldo Luque vs Huracán
In 1979 Leopoldo Luque scored a famous goal for River Plate against Huracán. The much travelled striker was an idol for River Plate and part of the Argentina squad that had just won the 1978 World Cup.
Golazo: Edmar vs Debrecen, Europa League 2010
Brazilian midfielder Edmar is an almost unknown figure in Brazilian football having left his homeland in 2002 to ply his trade in the Ukraine. On 16 September 2010 he scored this back-heel goal to help his team Metalist Kharkiv record an impressive 0-5 away win against Hungarian side Debrecen.
