20 Best Goals of 2012

By Neiko Garcia / December 29, 2012

14. Derdiyok v Wolfsburg

Key attributes you seek for in a striker: pace, first touch, agility, finishing. Derdiyok certainly demonstrated these abilities with his goal against Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. http://youtu.be/xKZhlstqFmY

13. Falcao v America de Cali

Radamel Falcao García is now one of the most sought after strikers in world football. When Atlético Madrid bought him for around ‚40 million as a replacement for the departing Sergio Aguero, eyebrows were raised as to whether he could live up to his price tag. After scoring goals like this, it seems he was worth every penny... or, uh, cent in this case. Though this goal was scored in just a friendly, it still merits the top 20.

12. Agyemang-Badu v Guinea

We head to Africa for this next one, a continent often overlooked for its rich footballing talents. Badu's strike for Ghana wasn't enough to earn a victory for his side on the day, but it was enough to get his name in our top 20 list. http://youtu.be/by59RqS5BlA
