The people's rank, live from duel votes
His free kick from the left in the 1962 quarter-final at Arica lifted over the wall and dropped past Lev Yashin, and the Soviet Union were out of the World Cup. Four goals made him a joint top scorer of that tournament, the only Chilean to top a World Cup scoring list, and he finished third on home soil, won six Chilean titles with the Ballet Azul at Universidad de Chile and held the caps record for decades. Career record: 85 caps and 24 goals for Chile; club career at Club Universidad de Chile, Club Social y Deportivo Colo Colo, C.D. Palestino.
