MESSI WOODWORK
It's off the Colombian post on '81 as Lionel Messi fires a close-ranger following the one-two with the superb Di Maria.
Another booking as Argentina's Rodriguez molests Borja with a slider. There's no point logging all these cards as the offenders are listed above.
Oh come on now. Messi charges through the middle again, past one, past two, past three, and is then taken out with a rotter of a challenge just as he reaches the Colombian area, sending him somersaulting through the air...
...There are audible groans from the Argentina bench. Barrios is the offender this time. I can tell you that all 5 Colombian bookings have been for fouls on Messi...Eventually the free kick is ready to be played.
Or is it? The referee is having a proper set-to with the Colombian wall which is apparently refusing to stand behind the white spray line...The clock has now reached 89:30...and still the referee has to go back and have words with the wall, which has wiped away the sprayed marker so that the white line is no longer visible...
...The clock strikes 90:00 and we have seen no action for over 3 minutes...up goes the board; just 4 minutes of added time to come...Messi's shot fires directly into the head of one of the wall, sending him to the ground, and, given all the fooling around by the wall, you have to consider the possibility of Messi making that intentional...
...From that free kick, Diaz counter breaks for Colombia, streaking up the field only to be severely body-checked by Pezzella who blocks him like a steel railway buffer. Pezzella has the outrageous nerve to go down as well, clutching the whole of his face without justification...unbelievable theatrics.
It's the end of normal time on '94 and it's it's straight to a penalty shootout situation here.
