In soccer, a golazo is a Spanish term used to describe a spectacular goal. The word is made up of the suffix -azo and gol which means goal. It is commonly heard during televised football coverage when a commentator has been suitably impressed by the nature of the goal. A golazo is subjective and can be applied to different types of goals, such as spectacular long-range efforts, mazy dribbles, or clever flicks. The term golazo became popularized in Italy and the rest of Europe through Channel 4s Football Italia in the early 1990s. The shows introductory theme song incorporated a cry of "golaco!" from Jose Altafini, an Italian-Brazilian former footballer who moved into media and punditry at the end of his playing career.
