They realized their World Cup dreams were in serious trouble, so they turned up the heat and started attacking like crazy. Time was running out, 40 minutes passed, and they still couldn't score. The coach looked incredibly stressed on the sideline. But they say a wounded tiger is always the most dangerous. In the 44th minute, Maximiliano Araújo scored a magical goal to make it 1-1.
