From the pen of Kurt Bevacqua:
Last night playing in a Sevilla dynasty against Atletico Madrid score was nil-nil. They were just drubbing me, but they kept hitting the cross bar and things like that. So I was holding on for dear life to get the draw. At the 80 minute mark Renato makes this really long pass down the pitch and I look over and see Navas standing all by himself directly in front of the goal. I thought, "Oh this has to be offsides," as he easily chipped in the one-on-one past the keeper. As the play ended I saw at the bottom of the screen the game telling me someone for Madrid was hurt. I looked back up just in time to see a guy down at the corner of the screen with the little green injury icon.
Instant replay comes on and sure enough, there's the Madrid left fullback off to the side from the goal, not moving the whole time. Navas carefully aligns himself just up from the woounded player in front of the goal to receive the long pass for his all too easy goal at the expense of the injured foe. I hold on for my cheap 1-nil win and stay within 2 points of frontrunner Barca.
