Their opponents show some problems when they try to pass the ball among themselves. Changes by Argentina. They have clearly changed the direction of their attack flow. After 64 minutes, Maurizio Sentimenti recovers the ball in the opponent's midfield, and with a magnificent pass manages to play Gino Milanese clear but he is caught by Exequiel Alvarez, who in turn makes an interception resulting in another corner kick. Another play at 67 minutes, it is the excellent vision of Nicolás Galván who makes a slashing pass over Italy's whole defensive line to a well positioned Pascual Benítez... he catches the superb pass and manages to get himself clear. Pascual Benítez shoots... but the ball goes wide. Big chance for Pascual Benítez. After 77 minutes, Nicolás Galván manages to release himself from his marker, and with excellent vision drives a pass that falls beautifully for Pascual Benítez who in turn makes a hooked shot, for the almost impossible save by Gigi Lopez! Even match from the first to the last minute. Final result: a draw for both sides. |
