VIDEO: Higuain decides he’d rather not upset the Chile crowd, misses injury time sitter instead

Ah, Gonzalo

Tight angle, came very quickly, stretching… but come on.

To win Copa America titles, you put those away.

If you’re wondering where Sergio Aguero is at this point:

And his replacement blew it.

Gonzalo Higuain had the chance to be the hero tonight and win Argentina’s first Copa America in 22 years. Instead, he went for the wrong side of the net after Messi and Lavezzi combined to set up what should have been the winner. As Sam Allardyce so profoundly put it, “you’re going to have to score to win.”

In Gonzalo’s defence, that Chile crowd is damn scary if their national anthem is anything to go by. We wouldn’t want to upset them either.
