Leo Oppermann wins the shoot-out
2 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Tim Handwerker fails from the spot

The afternoon belonged to Isaiah Young
A mark of 7.26, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.
