James Rodriguez is just 22 years old but he is quickly becoming an international star with his performance at the World Cup which now includes a tournament-best five goals.
His latest brilliant goal is his best yet, as he played a header-pass off his chest and then delivered a laser-beam goal with his left foot before the ball hit the ground. The goal gave Colombia a huge 1-0 lead over Uruguay in their knockout stage match.
James added a second goal later to stretch the lead to 2-0 in the second half.
The first strike was so perfect that it actually hit the keeper's fingers and the cross bar and managed to sneak through the narrowest of margins.
Perfect.
