and replaces Lisandro Lpez. After some tiki-taka, the 18 year-old
receives the ball midway between halfway line and 18-yard box.
Hungarian defender Vilmos Vanczak is close by as X turns and heads
for goal, his trademark scuttle seen on the international stage for
the first time. One touch, two touches, three touches and then
Vanczak hits the floor. He holds, he rolls, he clutches. Replays
show the faintest of touches - Nothing more, nothing less. But the
whistles from the crowd shrill for blood and Xs team-mates look
worried. They surround referee Markus Merk and argue his innocence.
Protests are shouted but all are waved away. The red is flashed
