This perfectly executed scissor kick is like poetry on the pitch

5/21/2012

Soccer'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.
