Considering the CONMEBOL region doesn't have it's own Match of the Day highlights package over here, we sometimes miss out on some of the sublime and ridiculous that occurs the other side of the equator (just!) and across the Atlantic.

So, being benevolent folk here at MirrorFootball we mounted our boards and surfed the web for hours to find you the best of this weekend's goals, and to introduce you to some potential new stars from Latin America.

Enjoy.

5) Neymar (Coritiba v SANTOS)

This goal has more than an element of luck to it as the Brazilian tyro benefits from some flimsy tackling and a couple of fortunate ricochets in the build-up, but Neymar's balance and poise to dart through is commendable. The presence of mind and coolness to round the keeper in such a fashion is symbolic of just how confident a player he is, and why wouldn't he be? He's been pulling the pants down of the Brasileirao for years now and is wanted by the biggest clubs in the world.

4) Osmar Ferreyra (Boca v INDEPENDIENTE)

Technically this is an own goal, and a deflection off a defender from a couple of yards out usually wouldn't make any top 5 lists but the way that Ferreyra jinks past the right half of the Boca defence is brilliant, and merits the resultant goal. Don't expect him to move to Europe soon though, he spent five years at CSKA Moscow, PSV Eindhoven and Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and only made 39 appearances, so chances are that he might be back home for good.

3) Lucas Mugni (Tigre v COLÓN)

This kid is pretty special, and looks like he could be the best young playmaker to leave Argentina since Erik Lamela in 2011 (coincidentally he scored a pretty sweet goal for Roma this weekend) when his time eventually comes to move on. He will no doubt learn a lot with Gabriel Batistuta as the club's general manager and Roberto Sensini as boss, and given the connections (and multiple Serie A titles) of those two it wouldn't be a surprise to see him eventually move to Italy. This goal showed his all-round strength, and sets him apart from most Argentine '10's in the way that he tracks back and wins the ball off an opponent before driving towards goal, leaving defenders in his wake before he drills it in the bottom corner. Lovely.

2) Diego Giaretta (Fluminense v ATLETICO GOIANIENSE)

There are a couple of things that you should really enjoy about this goal. The first is that it was for the underdog, playing against the Rio de Janeiro giant that is Fluminense in a bottom against top clash. Secondly, you should love the fact that he hits an ABSOLUTE RIPSNORTER while taking people by surprise. It's a strike of the ball as clean as some JIF-polished marbles that were accidentally dropped in the Dettol and nearly takes the net off.

Commentary's not bad either.

1) Adryan (FLAMENGO v Gremio)

We've

on these pages and he is one talented kiddo. Now playing more regularly for Flamengo, he is a player that is growing in confidence to go with his sublime touch and awareness - on top of all the other things he does really well. That confidence is very important in a young player, and we've included the full-length clip here just so you can see him: a) involved in the build-up, b) having the temerity to wrestle the ball of experienced striker Vagner Love and, c) curling a phenomenal set-piece into the top corner. SEE YA!

P.S.

An honourable mention also goes to Juan Sanchez Miño for this goal as he wins the ball back and charges forward before rifling home for Boca Juniors. The youngster is tipped to be Argentina's left-back in the coming years, perhaps even in time for Brazil 2014

. Also credit to Marcelo Moreno for this finish - we just love a dink.
