More Copa América action continues on Saturday as Canada and Uruguay fight for third place.

The South Americans opened the scoring when Rodrigo Bentancur swivelled in the box after a corner and roofed the ball into the top of the net past Dayne St. Clair.

But Canada then pulled out something special to equalize. Following their own corner, Ismaël Koné figured he’d try some acrobatics.

The midfielder was facing away from goal and scissor kicked his legs to reach the ball in the air seeing it loop over goalkeeper Sergio Rochet.

Koné has been one of the best players for Canada this tournament, and the effort is just his third goal ever for his country.

It’s one he’ll certainly never forget!
