Alvaro Recoba made a name for himself during a successful 11-year-spell at Inter Milan. But now, at 38, the former Uruguayan international has proved that he can still score stunning goals, by netting directly from a corner for Nacional. Recoba is currently plying his trade in his home country, for Club Nacional de Football, and he wowed the 20,000 strong crowd with an amazing in-swinging corner in his side's match against Montevideo Wanderers on Saturday. With the scores level at 0-0, Recoba stepped up to take a corner on the stroke of half-time, and to the surprise of all those inside Estadio Gran Parque Central, put enough swing on the ball to net directly from his set piece.
