Up-and-coming Venezuelan star Yohandry Orozco has become one of the hottest properties in football thanks to an astonishing goal in an U20 World Cup qualifying match.
The 19-year-old picked up the ball deep in his own half then evaded no fewer than seven encroaching opponents as he dribbled his way upfield before nailing a truly outstanding finish straight into the top corner of the net.
The incredible goal - which gave Venezuela a 1-1 draw with Peru - instantly drew comparison with Diego Maradona's astonishing effort in the World Cup quarter-final against England in 1986.
Orozco, who has already been capped by his country at senior level, currently plays for Venezuelan top-flight club Zulia - but on this evidence, it won't be long before he is plying his trade in one of the top leagues in the world.
