James Rodriguez’s volleyed goal for Colombia against Uruguay has been voted best goal of the World Cup by users of FIFA’s website.

The goal in the last-16 match beat Robin van Persie’s header for the Netherlands against Spain in the vote by more than four million FIFA.com users.

Rodriguez also earned third place for his chipped goal in Colombia’s 4-1 defeat of Japan.

Socceroo Tim Cahill, who many thought would claim top prize after his stunner against the Netherlands in the group matches, failed to place in the top three.
