Video: The most ludicrously over-elaborate goal you’ll see this side of Tuvalu

He scored... eventually

If Balotelli did this, Brendan Rodgers would personally take him around the back of Anfield and a single shot would ring out around Liverpool

Check out this astonishing piece of play from the Copa Libertadores clash between Santa Fe and Colo-Colo.

After some extremely lackadaisical defending from Colo-Colo, Wilson Morelo found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper. The 27-year-old striker rounded the keeper with ease and found the entire goal at his mercy.

Rather than firing the ball into the open net, Morelo inexplicably kept a hold of it allowing a defender to catch up and cover the goal.

He then made a run across the box which caused the defender to fall flat on his hoop, avoiding a clumsy looking sliding challenge from the goalkeeper before hammering a shot on target.

Unfortunately, another defender was there to block the shot on the line. However, it ricocheted back and he followed it in to smash it into the roof of the net.

to be fair to him, he scored a hat-trick in the match to see his side win 3-1.
