The Javier Cortes golazo that sealed a Clausura win for Pumas

Prepare to call the five-second rule as you pick your jaw up off the floor because 21-year-0ld Javier Cortes is about to put it there. Pumas won the Mexican Clausura on Sunday by beating Morelia 2-1 thanks to Cortes' brilliant 77th minute winner. The 21-year-old weaved through three defenders and fired a shot past one more diving opponent and the goalkeeper to give Pumas the title and prove they deserved it.

After the match, even Cortes himself couldn't hide how impressed he was with Javier Cortes. From Reuters:

"Really, that was the move of my life, that was the goal for the championship," Cortes said. "I dared to have a go, I dared to shoot and how good it was to get that goal," he told reporters after the Pumas' lap of honour.

And after that, he dared to party all night long.
