Venezuelan starlet Yohandry Orozco has shot to fame with an astonishing goal in an U20 World Cup qualifying match.
The 19-year-old picked up the ball from inside his own half and jinked past no less than seven opponents before blasting a long-range rocket into the top corner of the net.
The wonder goal, which has garnered almost 52,000 views on YouTube in two days, drew Venezuela level with Peru, and also earned the attacking midfielder comparisons to Diego Maradona’s stunning strike against England in the 1986 World Cup quarter-finals.
Orozco, who has already been capped by his country at senior level, currently plays for Venezuelan top-flight club Zulia. However, based on this piece of brilliant play, it seems like it won’t be long before he makes it to one of the world’s top leagues.
Possible future Maradona???
Lai lai discuss...
Good goal from long range.
But this is U20.
Smart opposing defenders would probably have closed him down and taken him out (even at the risk of a yellow card) when they see him skip past 2 or 3 players.
But good goal.
which is why at times like this, U need ppl like De Jong kicking him, "I was aiming for the ball"
or maybe like this...
Nice
since when did acid watch soccer?
anyway, that goal is a great goal but it is different from Maradona's. Maradona actually dribbled until the goalkeeper, past him, and slot the ball into an empty net from the 6 yard box.
nice shot
he'll probably end up at a la liga club and at best become like guardado...or maybe someday he'll get picked up by steve bruce...

THE GREATEST GOAL EVER SCORED............................was by an African goalkeeper................he saved a good shot and then dribble all the way to just outside the opponents' penalty box....................he then blasted a fantastic shot in..............
such goals are common in south america.
i cannot stand the commentator's yelling.
Hahaah
Anyway if he misses, I think the fans will hate him for not passing...
2 forwards infront of him who are probably in better positions to score
