Amazin career in Peñarol and Inter where he got be named the best defender in the world during middle of 70's-

NOTE 2: THE HISTORY ABOUT " EL GOL ILUMINADO" It happened on December 14, 1975, at the Gigante da Beira-Río Stadium. The local team, Internacional de Porto Alegre, sought to be Brazilian champion for the first time in its history. The partial result was 0 to 0 and the sky was completely cloudy.Valdomiro serves the free kick, from the right. The ball rises looking for the center of the area, through which the Chilean central defender Elías Figueroa enters. At the same time, an unexpected ray of sunlight falls on the exact spot where Figueroa rises, higher than the Cruzeiro defenders, and with a powerful header sends the ball into the net. Explosion in the torcida colorada and total delirium in the Beira-Río. It is the only goal of the match and Inter is champion, since then the gol was named "Gol Iluminado"
