He was the Columbian hero of Italy 90 whereas Escobar a defender in the 94 W/C who scored a home goal got Columbia eliminated. " That was a great goal you scored" they said to him in a Columbian bar then they shot him dead.
He was a flashy player but he also cost Colombia elimination in Italy 90 by doing his usual stupid showmanship. He gave Cameroon the game by coming out of his own box and losing the ball for an easy goal.
Higuita is one of those GK who should be more famously known than he is, but in the US futbol isn't as popular outside of immigrants circles. Too bad Americans don't respect the futbol world like the rest of the world does.
Higuita was a menace.. π.. I watched that scorpion kick live at Wembley β¦ Made me chuckle. Also remember in 1990 when fβd up against Roger Milla.. π
Absolute complete nonsense. I have never heard it called the Higuita rule and I've watched 10 000 games of football in my life. The rule change was to stop time-wasting. Total nonsense!
El scorpion. Legend, wasn't Paraguayan keeper Chilervert the only goalie to score more? But talking about bad keepers, being a Tottenham fan, we haven't been blessed in this area at all, since Jennings or Clemence. Hugo Lloris probably 2/10 or 3 at a push, massively over-rated, cost us 15-17 pts a season through unnecessary mistakes. But by far worst keeper I've ever seen is Heurelho Gomes, unbelievably shite, what were our scouts thinking, couldn't stop any shots, absolutely abysmal

He was in the 1990 World Cup in Italy probably the best World Cup after the 86 Mexico W/C.

Legendary
I think he's a best keeper ever.
That scorpion save is iconic. Absolutely legendary. I was lucky enough to see him while he was active.
No "Higuita rule" mentioned in Wiki about back passes, this is complete BS π€£
Incredible goal keeping πβ€πβ€
All coked up
Higiuta a Native name with Native Power..
Factually incorrect around the rule, but as a kid in England, he and Jorge Campos were great inspirations as goalkeepers.
LEGGEEEEND!!
One of a kind keeper
A unique talent.
REVOLUTIONAIRE, SENOR HIGUITA, LIVING π₯
If you're going to use AI to voice your video, please stop using this annoying nasal voiceover.

Haguita Rule prevents time wasting.
Respect

He could be a goalkeeper that no keeper would dare trying he was a goalkeeper that played like a outfield player
Onana is upcoming higuitaππ
He was a player and keeper at the same time
Him and Chilavert were ballers!
South America touch was the wild part in football until mid 90Β΄s. Nowadays…
The only fail is that he would gift a free goal if he loose the ball XD
Mucho RenΓ© para nacionaaaallll

Born unique β€β€β€
