I nominate this as the best crazy South American goal/commentary ever!

In the 1995 Copa Libertadores final semi final vs. River Plate, Higuita scored a magnificent free kick goal to level the score 1:1, and later on saved the last penalty from River's player to give Nacional the ticket to the final. Listen to the stadium ERUPT!

Higuita though wasn't without a rival...

The wall is very badly positioned in Higuita's free kick video

Ok how about this one, River again on the receiving end of a crazy goalkeeper, albeit slightly further out than the last!

Columbia got to second round of 1990 world cup only to be beaten by Cameroon, but your correct about Paraguay
