Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani is on fire, and there seems to be no goalie that can survive when he's accurate in front of goal.
During Los Charrúas' 3-0 win against Venezuela, the current goal scoring leader of the WC Qualifiers broadened the gap between himself and the second place of the scoring chart by sending the ball to the back of the net twice.
His first goal came fourteen seconds after the second half had started, taking advantage of a lobbed ball the Venezuelan defense couldn't clear.

But his second goal of the evening was an absolute gem. As the game drew close to the end, Carlos Sánchez took the right flank by storm and sent a cross inside the box. Suárez could have taken the chance himself, but he decided to assist Cavani with an exquisite backheel flick, leaving "El Matador" all the glory for himself.
