Eder scores a stunner for Brazil in 1982

During the group stages of the 1982 World Cup, pre-tournament favourites Brazil found themselves a goal down to the Soviet Union.

But the samba-boys weren't to be outdone, hitting back in typically breathtaking style.

The equaliser came from captain Socrates, a 25 yard screamer into the top corner after a couple of feints.

However, as great as Socrates' strike was, it was upstaged just few minutes later by Eder's winner. A diagonal ball into the centre by substitute Paulo Isidoro was dummied by Falcao, before Eder ran onto it, flicked it up and volleyed it straight into the back of the net. A stunning effort that is now commonly regarded as the goal of the tournament.
