James Rodriguez has barely had a chance to spend some quality time with his prestigious Puskas Award and already there is talk of the latest wonder goal set to usurp the Colombian's title.

While Rodriguez's Puskas-winning strike - awarded to the "most beautiful goal" of the year - occurred in front of millions of eyes during the World Cup in Brazil, a breath-taking volley by Victor Curto took place during a match in the Belgian second division.

Yet that does not take away from the goal's beauty, a clean, powerful and accurately taken volley off a corner kick. The goalkeeper didn't even move as the ball flew past him.

On top of that, the 32-year-old Spanish forward scored a hat-trick for his Belgian side K.A.S. Eupen last Friday in a 5-1 win over Racing Mechelen. K.A.S. Eupen lie fifth in the Belgian second division.
