In the South American Copa American, a competition equivalent to the English FA Cup, Excurionistas were facing fellow fourth division side Argentino de Merlo, and this super stopper made it his own job to make sure they weren't knocked out!
In reality, it is extremely hard to imagine anyone would've been searching the Argentinean side's name into their search engine, nor that of Fascanella, it's just a beautiful moment when someone in a remote area of the world, achieves something so rare and shocking it makes it all the way to us!
Who knows!? Petr Cech is getting on a bit, De Gea hasn't exactly shone at Old Trafford and we all know Arsenal could do with someone who can actually get away with putting a keeper jersey on. Let's get Messes Villas-Boas, Ferguson and Wenger to this blog ASAP!!
The below link will show you highlights of this rarity. Be sure to check it out!
