VIDEO: Sao Paulo’s Pato finishes off lovely team move with a cracking volley

The strike equals the approach

The Brazilians sure know how to play the beautiful game

Have we mentioned we love the Copa Libertadores? It’s the Champions League for South America, and it regularly throws up amazing skills, goal celebrations or just fantastic goals like this effort from last night.

Sao Paolo took on Danubio last night and in the middle of a 4-0 win they scored this superbly crafted team goal.

The ball is moved from central midfield out to the left flank where a fantastic flick creates some space for Reinaldo to nutmeg (NUTS!) the full-back before swinging  the ball across to Alexandre Pato at the back post to volley home after just four minutes.

He scored again before half time but his first was the pick of the bunch. Not bad by the former AC Milan man.
