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.
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.
Sergio Herrera vs Cerro Porteño, Copa Libertadores 2011
On 10 march 2011 Paragauyan side Cerro Porteño hosted Venezuelan visitors Deportivo Táchira in a group 5 game in Copa Libertadores 2011. The home team could have taken a four point lead at the top of the group with a win however they could only manage a 1-1 draw after Segio Herrera scored this brilliant equaliser. The 29 year old striker controlled the long ball well, nutmegged Roberto Burgos and fired a powerful shot into the net.
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: 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.
Golazo: Humberto Suazo vs Brazil, Copa América 2007
During Copa América 2007 Brazil and Chile met in the quarter final. The game finished 6-1 to Brazil who overpowered Chile with some brilliant attacking football from Julio Baptista, Robinho and Wagner Love but the best goal of the game and possibly the whole tournament was this consolation goal from Chile's Humberto Suazo.
Lujos: Sergio Agüero caño vs Franco Sosa
Before Sergio Agüero joined Spanish side Atlético Madrid he was an iconic player for Independiente. he broke Diego Maradona's record as the youngest player ever to play in the Primera División at only 15 years and 35 days. he scored loads of spectacular goals for the club and had plenty of tricks and skills too for a teenager including this nutmeg against Gimnasia y Esgrima's Franco Sosa.
Lujos: Diego Placente caño against Juan Román Riquelme
Juan Román Riquelme is well known as one of the most talented Argentine players with the ball at his feet, back in 2008 former Bayer Leverkusen defender Diego Placente took the opportunity to show Riqulme that he is not the only one that can pull off a nifty trick.
Lujos: Juan Pablo Sorín caño against Ronaldinho
For several years Ronaldinho was the undisputed king of clever tricks and flicks. When Brazil played Argentina in a 2006 World Cup qualifier, Juan Pablo Sorín took the opportunity to show that Ronaldinho is not the only one who could pull off a trick. You have to laugh at the way Ronaldinho lashed out at his opponent when he realised that he'd been done.
Lujos: Fernando Belluschi, sombrero & caño
Golazo: Dayro Moreno, Once Caldas vs São Paulo, Copa Libertadores 2010
25 February 2010. Colombian side Once Caldas faced São Paulo of Brazil in the group stage of the 2010 Copa Libertadores. The game was a repeat of the 2004 semi-final which the Colombian minnows had won against all the odds with a 2-1 home win in the 2nd leg, to set up a final with Boca Juniors which they won after two draws and an incredible penalty shoot out in which Boca had missed all of their penalties.
In the 2010 rematch the Brazilian side took the lead with a free kick from their goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni, before Once Caldas recovered to repeat the 2-1 scoreline of 6 years before, with this stunning goal from Dayro Moreno.
Both sides qualified for the 2nd round, Once Caldas could not repeat the dream of 2004 losing in the 2nd round to Libertad of Paraguay. São Paulo made it to the semi-final which they lost to fellow Brazilians and eventual champions Internacional.
