A Name to Remember: Adriano Duarte

Yesterday was a good day for talented young footballers. Arsenal’s Theo Walcott was recalled to the England squad after a nearly two year absence, Freddy Adu was bending it like a left footed Beckham for the USA U-23s, while Alexandre Pato continued his good form for Milan by setting up their only goal against Sampdoria.

And in Copa Libertadores Group 7, we learned a new name. Little Paraguayan team Sportivo Luqueno claimed a 1-1 draw at home to Brazilian giant Sao Paulo, thanks to 17 year old Adriano Duarte’s injury time equalizer. If you’re too impatient to sit through the whole video then 1) shame on you and 2) it’s at the 2:15 mark. Love the way it bends inside the far post, making Adriano Duarte A Name to Remember.
