René Higuita - Defesa do Escorpião - Scorpion Kick

Defesa impressionante realizada em uma partida amistosa entre Colômbia X Inglaterra, no antigo estádio de Wembley em 7 de setembro de 1995. He is famed for inventing the Scorpion Kick, a clearance where the keeper jumps forward, arches his legs over his head and in doing so, kicks the ball away with his heels. This save earned him notoriety when he pulled it off in a friendly game against England in September, 1995, blocking a mistaken cross.
