Great Goal Retold - Jose Luis Chilavert vs River Plate 1996

Jose Luis Chilavert the Paraguayan goalkeeper scored 62 goals in his career. The greatest of them all was playing for Velez Sarsfield against River Plate, with an incredible 60-meters free kick.

"Some players have scored from long distance, but it was usually by chance. This was different. I saw that Burgos was outside the box, watching birds rather than concentrating on the game. So I started running desperately. As i arrived, I noticed the referee was in the way and shouted 'Move!'. Luckily, he did".

"We won the game and I gave my shirt to the referee. He deserved for his reflexes!."
