Are you Beckham in disguise?

To be fair, the keeper didn’t do himself any favours here by straying so far off his line

South American football fans witnessed a magnificent golazo last weekend in the Bolivian first division.

Club Universitario and Bolivar shared the spoils of a 2-2 draw in their top flight encounter but the visitors took the lead with a pretty special goal.

The home side were looking to build an attack inside the Bolivar half when former Real Madrid youth player, Jose Capdevila made a great tackle to break up the play and win back possession for his team.

Having created a bit of room for himself in the centre of the park, the Spaniard glanced up to see that the goalkeeper had wandered a good deal off his line. The midfielder did the only natural thing and had a crack at goal from range. Luckily, his ballsy effort from inside his own half sailed into the back of the net from a whopping 60-yards.
