This perfectly executed scissor kick is like poetry on the pitch
5/21/2012Soccer's finest moment is perhaps the perfectly executed scissor kick. The latest brilliant display comes from Colombian star Radamel Falcao Garcia, better known as just Falcao, of Atlético Madrid. During a friendly match against America de Cali, Falcao takes a volley off a corner kick by teammate Diego (remember, it's a single-name OS in the world of South American football), and right as the ball seems to be going wide and harmlessly out of the box, Falcao propels himself up, assumes a horizontal striking position and delivers a surgically precise bullet into the top corner of the net. @WorldSoccerMag calls the shot "scarcely believable," and judging from the keeper's reaction, he agrees.
