Striker
i think he made the % correct decision standing off. the cross had to be a bit floated so it was still hard for afri to get both direction and power.
they were baiting him to dive in and risk the penalty. the self discipline to let the player go who'd just got past him on that one/one situation was tremendous. he came as close as you'll ever get to taking the bait, the fly was in his mouth and half way down his neck and he managed to spit it out.
the pressure knowing you've got to defend hard but also that the opposition, like taylor did, are looking for an opportunity to go down is horrendous.
