The big difference in this goal is that Nelinho scored not a free kick, but a ball in the movement. He did not have time to observe and figure out how to hit the goal but he relied on his shot! Brilliant right winger and a superb kicker!

I had cried a lot as a result of the shamed match of Argentina vs Peru. Nonetheless, Nelinho's goal was a trophy itself and not a consolation third place. Valeu Nelinho! Forever in our hearts!

That 1978 World Cup produced the best goals I have ever seen in WC history. This one by Nelinho and Arie Haan’s (also) against Italy were my favorites.

soccer masterpiece: one-two: only two touches: not absolutely a cross: a clear shot, a human (never AI) masterpiece

Golazo! Brasil debió ser campeón en 1978, en 1982 y en 1986. Era la mejor selección de esas tres copas mundo.
