James Rodriguez
Colombia’s
James Rodriguez’ wonder strike against Uruguay in the round of 16 of
the World Cup Brazil 2014 has been voted Goal of the Tournament,
announced FIFA.com on Monday.
The 23-year-old made the best out of an
Abel Aguilar’s header by beautifully chesting the ball under control
with his back to the goal, before unleashing a deadly volley which ended
at the back of Fernando Muslera’s net.
Netherlands’ Robin van Persie’s diving
header against Spain in the Group stage came second, followed by another
masterpiece by James Rodriguez against Japan.
The AS Monaco playmaker had also walked
away with the Golden Boot Award after scoring six goals in five World
Cup appearances. And his overall exceptional performance in Brazil
earned him an expected € 75-million move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
