Ramos Moreno Cruz found in front of goal, but shanked his shot strikers over a few meters. Losing Moreno was more shocking. There was confusion after an unfortunate defensive when Gabriel Milito backpass ended at the foot of Ramos. He managed to round goalkeeper Nicolas Burdisso, but it compensates with a tackle. The ball fell to Moreno, who was eight feet away, with an obvious target open before him. His sidefoot, however, came into the side netting.
