Olimpia beat Rubio Nu on the final day of the Paraguayan Primeria Division clausura to win their first title in 11 years and 39th title since 1912. Scoring the first goal in the 5th minute of the 2-1 win was Maxi Biancucchi -- Lionel Messi's 27-year-old cousin on loan from Cruz Azul.

After controlling the ball with his chest and his back to the goal inside box, Biancucchi pulled off a nice little spinning volley to score his fourth goal in 16 clausura appearances. Though he doesn't exactly score at the same rate as Messi, the 5'5" winger is still known for his family ties. While playing for Flamengo in Brazil, he was given the nickname "O Primo do Messi" (Messi's cousin) because, well, that's what he is.
