the superstars team without the superstars held the fort. wouldn't say it was a great game by the Albiceleste, but it served the purpose. win. 3 points. a fresh lease of life.
a counter-attack resulting in biglia's goal. stout defense in the 2nd half which saw everyone do their bit of defending frustrated colombia so much that they had to go for long shots outside the box. they were kept away from entering the box, which did seem like a huge achievement to me. romero was a bit sloppy yesterday. out of place at two occassions. dyabla was unlucky. a goal called offside which replays proved was a wrong call. a second one hit the post. played only for 20 minutes, the poor guy should have opened his international tally. a penalty was denied for colombia. had that been given and gone in, had any of the 2 errors of romero had gone in, it would have been a nightmare.
next up is Chile. March 2016.
