Video of the Day: Bustos, the sniper

Apologies for the lack of posts so far today; to be frank with you all, I’m still quite hungover after celebrating Colombia’s victory in World Cup qualifiers last night.

The battle of undefeated teams was won by the home side as Argentina fell 2-1 to Colombia in Bogotá. Carlos Tevez was sent off in the 25th minute yet it was wunderkind Lionel Messi who tallied the first goal with this fantastic effort in the 36th minute.

Messi nearly doubled the lead for los albicelestes shortly after the restart, yet it was Ruben Bustos who scored his magical right leg with this sublime golazo in the 63rd minute:

Dayro Moreno’s game winner seven minutes from full time gave Colombia the three points and pushed them up to second place after having played four games.

In Tuesday’s other qualifier, Venezuela scored three times in the last ten minutes to beat Bolivia 5-3.
