#5 Giorgian De Arrascaeta v America-MG

Flamengo v Cruzeiro - Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores 2018
De Arrascaeta is in his fourth season with Cruzeiro

De Arrascaeta’s is another name that won’t be too familiar to many, but he has appeared on a number of occasions for Uruguay in recent years. This is also the only goal on the list that was scored in South America, with the other ones being scored in Europe and Oceania. De Arrascaeta scored the goal playing for Cruzeiro in the Brazilian Campeonato Mineiro against America-MG.

De Arrascaeta got on the end of a cross from right back Edilson, and found the top corner with a brilliant volley. The Uruguayan showed terrific athletic ability to find the net, with his body almost horizontal when he connected with the ball.
