Cuauhtémoc Blanco, the 41-year-old Mexican star and one of the most entertaining players alive, showed that he's still the man, scoring two goals against Santos Laguna in Puebla's last game of the season. The game ended 3-3, with both of Blanco's goals being equalizers in the second half. Blanco simply would not let Puebla lose, proving that the greats can always conjure a moment of magic when the game is on the line.
The first came on a free kick in the 60th minute, to knot the game at 2-2. Blanco's long run-up was on display as he placed the ball perfectly past the wall and the diving keeper.
The second came with time running out, in the 95th minute. Blanco smashed home a penalty to ensure Puebla didn't end the season on a loss, causing Puebla's fans to lose their collective minds.
Cuauhtémoc Blanco may not be able to run very well any more, but he's still magic when it counts.
