Iquita is a legendary goalkeeper who scored three goals in 68 games for the Colombian national team.
In September 1995, during a friendly match between England and Colombia, England midfielder Redknapp was hanging from about 25 yards into the goal, and when everyone thought Iquita would catch the ball with his hand, he suddenly leaned forward and lifted the ball out of the door with his feet. This "scorpion tail" style of saving ball is also an eternal classic in the history of football! This shot was selected for 100 Great Moments of Sports on Italian Television 4 seven years later. The 2009 Golden Foot Awards awarded Iquita the title of "Legend of Football".

In the face of Colombian fans who love the ball to the death, Iquita has not relented in the slightest, and his madness remains. In this Copa America competition, Iquita's legend is even stronger. In a game, the other side in response to his standing in front of the characteristics, long distance hanging door, Iquita has long estimated the opponent's way of playing, he is not in a hurry, when the football is about to enter the net, he did not use his hands to catch the ball but played a dangerous action of "kicking the purple crown upside down", the body fish jumped forward and kicked the ball out of the gate with two heels. This action can be described as a masterpiece in the history of football in the past century. With this one save, Iquita can rank among the world's best goalkeepers. This save action shows his passion for his technique and his creativity. Iquita is a lunatic on the pitch, but he's crazy cute, crazy, crazy with an art of football.

René Iquita was born on August 28, 1966. His kicks are characterized by a large range of motion, frequently going outside the box to control the ball, actively participating in and organizing the attack. In addition, he can shoot high-quality free kicks. In Latin America, where football is quite developed, Colombia's Iquita and Paraguay's Chiravit, Mexico's "flower butterfly" Campos are called the three crazy goalkeepers. But Chilawite organizes and encourages the team by shouting on the field, Campos stands out with a fancy jersey and fancy movements, and Iquita stands out for his confidence and desire to perform. No matter how tense the game scene, he dared to improvise, and the green field became a stage for him to show his personal skills, and he never knew that he was afraid of the stage. Iquita has been a key goalkeeper since joining The Colombian National, and he has also developed a strong free-kick technique under the guidance of his coach.
