Carlos Alberto

Scorer of one of the best, if not the best, goals in World Cup history died yesterday aged 72.
Enjoy once again his goal for Brazil in the 1970 final in Mexico. Complete with Kenneth Wolstenholme's memorable commentary: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37767301

The move begins with the Brazilian Rivellino dummying a couple of Italian players.








The ball goes out wide left and then up the wing to Jairzinho, who instantly controls the ball with his right foot.









Dribbling in field, Jairzinho squares the ball to his right. There are still more blue shirted Italian players compared to Brazilian's in shot.







The ball reaches number 10 Pele. He turns and almost casually passes the ball, seemingly to no one !  Alberto is out of the picture at this time.








Finally Carlos Alberto appears from out of nowhere to smash the ball into the net.








Fantastic finish to a great team goal.

Thanks for the memory. RIP Carlos.
