The Brazilian full-back Maxwell was kneeling on the ground at this moment, angrily pounding the ground with his fist.
Thump thump thump, punch after punch, filled with unwillingness.
Even before his foul on Sagna, his stamina had already reached a bottleneck.
After managing to foul Sagna and gain a moment to breathe, he saw the fourth official preparing for a substitution off the field. France's full-back Kimpembe was standing on the sidelines, and Maxwell finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed he was going to be replaced.
He thought he had completed his mission in this game, but before he could celebrate, Sagna launched a quick play!
Then Maxwell helplessly watched Tang Long and Agüero complete a one-two and effortlessly chip the ball into the goal.
Maxwell was furious, just that little bit short, just one minute of time…
Maxwell was substituted off; Kimpembe came on.
