After that goal, Vasquez's life changed a bit.

The Guardian's blogger John Ashdown made a ranking of the best goals of the past decade and placed Andres along greast like Messi, Cambiasso, Rooney, Rivaldo and Paul Peschisolido

The top one was Messi's goal against Getafe por "King's Cup" in 2007, with a final clean shot after passing half the rivals team.

The second one was Cambiasso's goal at Serbia's 6-0 demolition by Argentina at Germany 2006 with more than 20 consecutive passes.

Third in the list is Rooney against Arsenal in 2002 for the Premier League, age 16. One that announced the arrival of a different player.

Rivaldo's bycicle kick against Valencia for the Catalans at La Liga Primera in 2001 is fourth. Rivaldo was in top: best player in the world and soccer's Copa America winner.

Fifth was Peruvian Andrés Vasquez's rabona, for IFK Gotheburg, and sixth, Paul Peschisolido at play-off semifinal between Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest in 2003.
