Nobody could get near Jean Martínez
Successful dribbles: 41. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The kick that got away from Franco Cabrera
Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.
