What's up with the Copa America this year? Almost every match so far has produced a stunning goal that looks set to contend for the goal of the tournament prize.

Brazil's Everton Soares sent in a delicate in-swinger against Bolivia on the opening night, before Roger Martinez whipped an outrageous effort for Colombia in the 2-0 win over Argentina.

Derlis Gonzalez of Paraguay and Qatar's Ali Almoez added two more equally ferocious strikes, and now, Cavani joins the party.

The PSG star, often a wellspring of goods for the Sky Blues on occasions like this, acrobatically connected to Diego Godin's headed cross to score a blinder, and doubled Uruguay's cushion.

This came only moments after Quinteros was sent off, so there was a sense of inevitability of him striking anyways. However, the quality of the strike was top notch and executed with such poise and perfection.

So that's five golazos with only five games in! Imagine at this rate, the CONMEBOL are going to have a treacherous time in deciding the goal of the COPA America tournament at the end.
