With the match nearing the seventieth minute now, Fred had to make way for Mateo who Norman had finally decided to bring into the game.
They had gotten a couple of chances to seal the game so far in this half but with Giovanni being the beast he was in between the sticks, those chances didn't turn out quite well.
He had just barely over thirty minutes left so he had to do something or risk losing this game.
Mateo had gone through a lot of check ups before Norman made the decision to put him on the bench today.
There wouldn't have been any problem if he had decided to start him but he didn't believe that the winger was all that well and tried to see what he could do without him.
The winger was quickly making his way to the opposition box now as the home fans got up from their seats to applaud him.
It was a standing ovation, one that was very well expected.
