Better than Ronaldinho? Executed a penalty with a wonderful "no-look"

Tomás Moschión touched the ball with his hand in his eagerness to reject the exit from a corner, and all of River already knew what was going to happen: Gonzalo Montiel was going to take over the execution. The Millionaire was narrowly beating Colón 2-1 and needed to expand the lead to ensure the victory for the Professional League Cup. The defender walked towards the ball, with Leonardo Burián, a specialist in saving from 12 steps, in front, but he did not hesitate. In the race, he looked all the time towards the goalkeeper's left post, but... At the time of shooting, he crossed it, keeping his gaze on the opposite side.

The execution, in the world of football, was patented by Ronaldinho. An former River Plate, Lucas Ocampos, usually appeals to the resource in the auctions of him in Seville. If we move to basketball, the passes without looking have his name: "no look." Well, Montiel showed off the tool. And he became a key player in his team's 3-2 victory at the Monumental.

Curiosity was what happened at the celebration. Girotti and Álvarez were the first to approach to greet him. But then he was adding emphasis to his relief and merged into several fierce hugs. What happened to him? "I was celebrating with my colleagues, I gritted my teeth and it broke a little," he confessed after the match.

The defender, who in the last transfer market was close to being transferred to Europe, had to go through a stoppage of several weeks because he was infected with mononucleosis. He returned to action in the 0-0 draw against Arsenal, played in the victory against Atlético Tucumán for the Argentine Cup and, against Colón, even scored a goal for his performance.
