Thirty years later, René Higuita recalls the astonishing event of a scorpion sting: "It wasn't an ordinary incident."
==================================================================
René Higuita, affectionately known as 'El Loco', made a historic save on September 6, 1995, during a match against England at Wembley. This extraordinary moment, now known as 'The Scorpion', has left an indelible mark on the sport of soccer and continues to be celebrated 30 years later.
The save, made against an English shot from Jamie Redknapp, saw the South American goalkeeper deftly deflect the ball away with his heel, a move that forever changed the way we understand the art of goalkeeping. The save was described as a work of art, a cry for freedom, and a gesture that forever changed the game.
Recently, Higuita took to social media to celebrate this iconic moment, with a tweet that merely highlighted the significance of 'The Scorpion' save, but did not provide any new details about the save itself. The picture accompanying the tweet is from September 6, 2025, suggesting that the save's influence continues to be felt even three decades later.
The match between Benfica and Rio Ave, which was postponed, has been rescheduled, but the details of the new date and time are yet to be announced. An article about the rescheduled match has been published, confirming the new date, but not the time or location.
Despite the lack of specifics, the save made by Higuita remains a pivotal moment in soccer history. It is a testament to the enduring power of sport and the incredible feats that can be achieved on the pitch. As we look back on this historic save, it serves as a reminder of the passion, skill, and artistry that makes soccer such a beloved sport around the world.
