MOTM Dibu imo considering his save legit helped us not go down 1-0. Not saying Otamendi doesn't deserve a MOTM since he also performed well (he saved a goal on the line then scored 1-0) but i feel in this case considering how Brazil were better than us and going for the win that they needed, Dibu was clutch. MOTM for me.
That said, geezus, for the next window considering we play the team we almost always draw in Chile and then Colombia who seem to be finding their mojo once again, yeah, we needed these 3 points badly and also Scaloni has got to rethink on who he calls up for that window so we don't end having a nightmare of a window like this one during his coaching time again.
