“It was a miracle of Marlon de Jesus – and I am still trying to work out how he managed to miss the target. Last Thursday, in the South American Under-20 Championships, Ecuador’s burly striker Edson Montano burst through the right of the Uruguay defence, got to the byline and rolled the ball square to the equally burly De Jesus, who, positioned no more than three metres from the goal, contrived to shoot over the bar. It is a trick he would probably be unable to repeat if he tried.” BBC – Tim Vickery
