Mexico striker Jesus Escoboza has shown he?s a true predator in front of goal after running on and scoring against Mali at the Under-20 World Cup ? despite losing his boot.
Escoboza, of Santos Laguna FC, found the net along with Marco Bueno, Jesus Corona and Uvaldo Luna in a 4-1 thrashing of Mali that helped El Tri qualify for the knockout stages.
But he had to work a lot harder than most to find the net, after his football boot flew off in the build-up.
Escoboza had scampered onto a flicked header from team-mate Bueno down the left wing, but just as he appeared to have got away from the last defender to run on and score, his right boot slipped off and the forward was left to control with the ball with his sock.
It worked, though, and after showing some serious composure Escoboza kept going and eventually lashed the ball into the corner with his left peg.
Not bad, and further proof of Escoboza?s rising stock, with Inter Milan believed to be chasing his signature.
