While the attention was elsewhere ahead of Thursday's semi-final match, the Argentine forward came through when Los Guerreros needed him
Heading into Thursday's semi-final first leg between Santos Laguna and America, the questions about Santos' attack all focused on Djaniny and Jonathan Rodriguez. Would Djaniny, who left Santos' second leg win over Tigres in the quarter-finals, be fit to play? Could Santos score without Rodriguez, whose inclusion in the lineup gave Los Guerreros a more attacking look before he was sent off? Yes and yes, but it was a forgotten man who everyone was talking about after the game.
