Venezuela had all it was required in the game for their lives against drowning Maradona's ship in the heats of Caracas. However, Juan Fernando Arango wasted the opportunity to slice Argentian hearts with a 4th minute penalty, Sergio Romero's hand of steel miraclously denied the well placed shot of the home side's skipper.
Albicelestes needed a win to keep their chances alive and right after the hell of facing an early penalty, Carlitos Tevez had a moment of divine inspiration, as he bagged two quick goals and sent coach Maradona to the seventh heaven.
Despite conceding ANOTHER penalty and making their best to waste the chances of their lives, even Messi and his fellows wouldn't be able to let things slip away at such moment and prevailed when it perhaps mattered most. This win will surely keep Holy Diego dreaming about South Africa in the high heavens at least for one week time, when his fate will be ultimately judged in an Ecuadorian purgatory.
