GREATEST GOALS in FOOTBALL HISTORY Rodríguez vs Japan WC

A moment of pure brilliance from James Rodríguez 🌟 – his elegant chip goal vs Japan at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

In Colombia’s final Group C match at the Arena Pantanal, Cuiabá, they were already cruising with a 3–1 lead. But James, coming on as a substitute, had one more piece of magic to deliver.

In the 90th minute, Rodríguez received the ball inside the Japanese penalty area. With silky footwork, he glided past a defender and, with supreme confidence, lifted a perfectly weighted chip over goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima.

It was the final touch in a dominant Colombian performance, sealing a 4–1 victory and confirming their place at the top of the group with 9 points.

This cheeky finish showcased James’s composure, creativity, and flair — qualities that made him the top scorer of the 2014 World Cup with 6 goals and the winner of the Golden Boot.
