Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s star is so bright that others look dim by comparison. But Giovani Dos Santos is only a year and a half removed from putting up 14 goals and 12 assists, and when he’s around the box there are few players in Major League Soccer more difficult to predict.
That is what makes Andre Blake’s 17th minute save on the Mexican attacker so impressive: Dos Santos was not in a great shooting position, but he’s so tricky that a shot could still have come from either foot, or, to lay out the full range of options Blake had to consider in goal, either side of either foot.
