Juventud cannot stop winning
6 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

No sign of nerves from Gonzalo Gómez at 21 — 7.83
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Gonzalo Gómez did not need any: 7.83, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Alejo Cruz beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 24. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
