TO Chucky got the ball in a one-on-one. With category he waited for the goalkeeper to surrender and then he just had to push her into the goal. Technical gesture and cold blood to close a beautiful goal .
With performances like this, Hirving Lozano will silence the critics and will be praised more regularly, just as a club legend did after his brace.
