It may have taken him five games to show what he can do, but Andrés D'Alessandro managed to silence his critics with a top-notch performance.
The former Wolfsburg and Internacional player, currently on loan with Los Millonarios, scored his first goal with the Argentinean side against Bolivia's The Strongest during Wednesday's Copa Libertadores matchup that saw the hosts emerge victorious with a 6-0 score.
D'Alessandro's goal came as a breath of fresh air for the team, following some criticism from the club's fans after some sloppy performances by the 34-year old. The talented midfielder contributed to the game with his speed, quickness, and overall leadership, which was highly praised by his country's media outlets.
His golazo included a nutmeg, a fine dribble and a quality finish with his left foot. You can't miss it!
