Point by Argentina's Gabriel Heinz:
[QUOTE]Boasting the likes of Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez and Diego Milito, few would have thought it would be defensive stalwart Gabriel Heinze who saved the team with a header that gave Argentina a 1-0 victory over Nigeria on Saturday.
“It’s like everything that happens in football - sometimes you’re in the right place,” said Heinze after the match at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. “I saw the cross coming and I didn’t hesitate about using my forehead.”[/QUOTE]
Vincent Enyeama strong goalie for Nigeria:
[QUOTE]Diego Maradona, the star of that 1986 triumph, and now Argentina coach, deployed Messi, Higuain and Tevez to take on Nigeria’s defense.
But the trio could not find the net, nor did Inter Milan’s Champions League hero Milito, who came on as a late substitute.
All of them were frustrated by a series of fine saves by Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, chosen by FIFA as the man of the match - a rarity for a goalie in a losing team.[/QUOTE]
