DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO star Ben Malango has scored a SENSATIONAL volley likened to James Rodriguez's famous World Cup strike.
In the second half of their World Cup play-off against Morocco, the Congolese player received the ball on the edge of the area with his back to goal.
Malango took it down on his chest before swivelling and rifling a superb strike into the top corner.
It was a quite remarkable goal in the 72nd minute of a game his country were losing 4-0 to Morocco.
And while Malango will certainly not forget the strike any time soon, his team did end up losing the tie 5-2.
Nevertheless, it clearly resembles one of the all-time great World Cup goals from Colombia's Rodriguez.

And Rodriguez also netted five minutes into the second half as Colombia won 2-0 to reach the quarter-finals.
They would then go on to be knocked out by Brazil.
