looked like the favourites to come out on top and with Brazil missing all four spot-kicks that is exactly what happened.
Villar: Probably the best player on display in the game. Made some exceptionally good saves and was one of the prime players to thank for his teams survival till the penalty shoot-out. He then went on to make a save in the shootout and as a result, went
on to help secure his team’s win.
Veron and Torres: The two full-backs were average to say the least. They coped with the Brazilian attack for the most part, but occasionally let them go right past them. However, in the end their efforts proved to be sufficient.
Alcaraz and Da Silva: The two centre halves had a massive game against Brazil. They defended their lines well and managed to get a hold of the Brazilian http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Attackers-c38555. Alcaraz went on to pick a bizarre red card in extra time and didn’t finish the game with the
rest of his team.
Vera, Caceres and Riveros: The three midfielders went on to produce a decent performance. They got balls forward often and even managed to control the flow of play on occasions. Riveros went on to stroke home his effort in the shootout and helped contribute
to his team’s victory in the end.
Estigarribia, Valdez and Barrios: The three attackers were lively and all over the place. They constantly bombarded forward and looked to create all sorts of problems for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858. Estigarribia went on to score the first penalty on the night and set the wheels
in motion for his team’s victory.
