The goalkeeper had been perfect up until Tuesday's extra-time period, but his howler helped America move onto the CONCACAF Champions League final.

San Marchesin, the nickname Santos Laguna fans have given goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin because of his frequent divine interventions, watched as Michael Arroyo put in a free kick right at him. He got both hands to the ball and it squirted through. In contrast with another divinely inspired story, Goliath had beaten David and this was the final blow.
Santos Laguna is a team that runs on smarts.
