It's international break and as the first round of fixtures comes to a close, we take a look at the five best goals.

1. Edinson Cavani (Uruguay) v Czech Republic

The striker secured victory for his national team in the China Cup with this exquisite overhead kick, after beating the Czech's offside trap.

2. Thomas Muller (Germany) v Spain

The World Cup champions found themselves 1-0 down thanks to a early strike by Rodrigo. However, their Bayern Munich striker came to the rescue with this thunderous strike just outside the box in the 35th minute to level the tie.

3. Manuel Lanzini (Argentina) v Italy

No Messi? No problem for 'La Albiceleste'. This late curling finish from the West Ham attacking midfielder evaded the outstretched hand of Gianluigi Buffon, securing an important victory over the 'Azzurri'.

4. Arturo Vidal (Chile) v Sweden

It may be an unorthodox strike from the Bayern Munich midfielder but it was certainly effective, nestling into the top right corner to put 'La Roja' ahead.

5. Thomas Lemar (France) v Colombia

'Les Bleus' linked up brilliantly for their second goal, which even included a cheeky back-heel by Antoine Griezmann before Lemar finished it off emphatically. Bravo.
