«Enzoooo scores! Football, Enzo, football!»: Closs’s call v England | OneFootball

When the paths to goal were closing off for the Argentina National Team in the 2026 World Cup semifinal, Enzo Fernández stepped up with a sensational right-footed strike. His tremendous shot from outside the box in the 85th minute was unreachable for Jordan Pickford, the British goalkeeper who until then had been the standout player. “Football, Enzo, football!” Mariano Closs burst out in his commentary, describing the deserved partial equalizer in Atlanta for Lionel Scaloni’s team, which had monopolized possession after the opening goal by Anthony Gordon but could not find the key to scoring.

Despite not having shown his best form so far in this World Cup, the Chelsea midfielder once again proved his class in the hottest moments. His persistence was crucial: before celebrating, he had already tried two long-range shots that went wide. Convinced that the way to break Pickford’s resistance was to shoot from distance, he stuck to his plan and repeated his decisive role from the round of 16, where he scored the winning goal in the 3-2 victory over Egypt.

With this dramatic strike against the English, the midfielder took his personal tally in World Cup matches to three sacred goals. Enzo added this stunner in Atlanta to his earlier goal against Egypt and the memorable strike against Mexico in Qatar 2022, once again establishing himself as the man for the big goals.
