New Maradonna?

Up-and-coming Venezuelan star Yohandry Orozco has become one of the hottest properties in football thanks to an astonishing goal in an U20 World Cup qualifying match.


The 19-year-old picked up the ball deep in his own half then evaded no fewer than seven encroaching opponents as he dribbled his way upfield before nailing a truly outstanding finish straight into the top corner of the net.

The incredible goal - which gave Venezuela a 1-1 draw with Peru - instantly drew comparison with Diego Maradona's astonishing effort in the World Cup quarter-final against England in 1986.

Orozco, who has already been capped by his country at senior level, currently plays for Venezuelan top-flight club Zulia - but on this evidence, it won't be long before he is plying his trade in one of the top leagues in the world

Amazing goal and incredibly talented. :)

Great young player...amazing goal especially when you consider he was closely marked by three players when he got the shot away and still managed top corner to perfection.. For anyone who hasn't seen it follow this link definitely a must see. YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Extraordinary goal.

We badly need another Maradonna-type player in World football

He could give Messi a run for his money. I wonder is Wenger watching.

Fabulous talent. Just hope he keeps his head and goes on to be a great star.

However, for me, there will only be one Maradona - the original and the best. I don't think anyone will ever reach his stature and talent (or decline for that matter).

We all have our favourites and he is my all time top footballing hero.

Messi best by a mile may end up da best dats ever been
