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: Erik Lamela, River Plate vs Colón, Apertura 2010
River Plate teenager Erik Lamela was attracting international attention before he even scored his first goal for the club. When he did hit the net for the first time in a game against Colón on 5 December 2010 at the age of 18, it was a fine dink over the goalkeeper to finish off a brilliant team goal. A goal of such quality is only likely to increase the amount of international attention and speculation about possible transfers.
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.
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.
