Cesar "Chelito" Delgado



I had all but forgotten about Cesar "Chelito" Delgado who at one time was regarded as the Mexican league's best player. Then he makes his prescence be known with a late goal to give Lyon a surprise 2-1 win over Liverpool FC. "I had scored goals before but none as important as this one," Delgado told uefa.com.

Delgado's most important goal, however, would have been his 87th minute strike against Brazil in the 2004 Copa America final. That goal had all but given Argentina the championship win until Adriano's equalizer three minutes into overtime. Brazil would go on to win the Cup via penalty kicks.
