Marcos Coll

Marco Tulio Coll Tesillo[1] (23 August 1935 – 5 June 2017), also known as El Olímpico was a Colombian professional footballer.

He was famous for scoring the first and only Olympic goal in any men's FIFA World Cup, beating legendary goalkeeper Lev Yashin in a 4–4 draw against the Soviets in 1962.

Shortly thereafter in 1962 Coll joined América de Cali where he was remembered with scoring a notable goal.

[citation needed] This achievement came in Arica, Chile, on 3 June 1962, during the development of the game between Colombia and the USSR of the first round of the World Cup.

At one interview, Coll claimed he aimed for the goal as the Colombian players were too short compared to their Russian opponents.
