Video: 38-year-old Alvaro Recoba proves his still got it by scoring goal directly from corner

In fairness, the goalkeeper has a lot to answer for

Alvaro Recoba is back scoring unorthodox wondergoals again at the ripe, old age of 38. This time Recoba found the net directly from a corner-kick during his latest appearance for his side Nacional. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0CdLY4vizs Recoba is a true veteran of the beautiful game. He has 69 caps for Uruguay, represented his country at the 2002 World Cup and had an 11-year spell in Italy with Serie A behemoths Inter Milan. He made his name during his ludicrously lengthy 20-year career by scoring impressively unusual (or unusually impressive) goals. In fact, this isn't even the first goal he's scored directly from a corner kick. Check out this absolute beauty he bagged for Nacional two seasons ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5z6nWTTr0U Steve Staunton, eat your heart out.
