Rodríguez' Goal

James Rodríguez 29' Goal v. Uruguay

Abel Aguilar made a header back in off the Uruguayan clearance. James Rodríguez took it down on his chest at the edge of the box and without waiting for the ball to hit the ground he turned right around and put it in off the crossbar.
After growing each day without relenting, this list will begin to shorten as non-contenders are eliminated in these knockout rounds.
Now James Rodríguez is the leading goal scorer of the tournament on assists.
