2022 World Cup Dibu Martinez Golden Glov
Emiliano "Dibu" Martinez was one of Argentina's emotional leaders throughout their run to the 2022 FIFA World Cup title, but he came up huge on the field as well when it mattered most.Overall, Martinez hadn't had a sensational tournament but triumphed against the Netherlands in their quarterfinal penalty shootout and knew he would be
Los Angeles Rams Jersey called upon in the final against a talented France side.That was absolutely the case. He had little to do in the first half as France became the first team on record to fail to record a shot in the opening 45 minutes, but in the second half Les Bleus turned things around and made Martinez a busy man in goal.With the game tied 3-3 at the death, Martinez came up huge, making a sensational save on Randal Kolo Muani to keep the match level before coming up with another in the penalty shootout. He would go on to win the tournament's award for best goalkeeper, beating out other standout performers.MORE: Emiliano Martinez has had some journey from the 4th tier of English football 10 years ago First international cap in 2021 Copa America Winner Finali sima Winner World Cup Winner BBC 5 Live Sport (@5liveSport) HERO B/R Football (@brfootball) Before the penalty shootout heroics, Dibu was required to make an absolutely gargantuan save at the death to
Kurt Warner Jersey even reach the shootout.With the game into the first minute of stoppage time of the second half of extra time, also known as the 121st minute, the game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams attacking in wide-open fashion. Ibrahima Konate sent a long ball for Randal Kolo Muani, who got free on goal with only Martinez to beat.Yet Martinez stood tall, stuck his left leg out full-stretch to make a kick save and keep the game level. It was a ma sive moment in the game, without which it would never have made it to penalties.The shot had a 0.29 expected goals (xG) mark, and a 0.55 expected goals on target (xGOT) post-shot tally, which means historically that chance and finish finds the back of the net more than half the time.De las atajadas ms importantes de la historia.

Eric Dickerson Jersey Dibu had already been big in the penalty shootout against the Netherlands in the quarterfinal, and did the deed again against France in the final.With Kylian Mbappe having already scored with France's first take despite Martinez gue sing correctly, Kingsley Coman stepped up for his spot-kick, and he went to the left. Martinez was ready for it, committing quickly and gue sing right, there to stop the shot with ease, the ball straight into his chest.One take later, Aurelien Tchouameni would mi s the target altogether and seal France's fate.Watch in the USA:SAVED MY EMI MARTINEZFrance: Argentina: FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) Watch in Canada:Emiliano Martnez!!!

Jared Hocker Jersey high praise for Dibu, who was named to the honor over the likes of Croatia's Dominik Livakovic, Morocco's Ya sine Bounou and France's Hugo Lloris. All three of those other goalkeepers enjoyed ma sive moments throughout the World Cup, but Martinez came up big when it mattered the absolute most.Through the tournament, Martinez and Argentina had one of the best defenses acro s the competition, and they conceded just eight goals in seven matches, including the hat-trick by Kylian Mbappe in the final. Martinez made seven saves throughout the tournament.Y QUIN IBA A SER EL MEJOR ARQUERO DEL MUNDIAL? Dibu Martnez y un premio para la historia. ESPN Ftbol Argentina (@ESPNFutbolArg)
