This definitely seems to be a World Cup full of shockers and silly errors from the glove men and this time, Khadim N’Diaye was the guilty party.
Now, if looked at it closely, he committed a couple of mistakes in both goals. While Takashi Inui was lining up a shot, he had two Senegalese players close to him, covering N’Diaye’s near post. This only implied that the Japanese winger would go for a far-post attempt.
Take nothing away from his shot, which was an absolute beauty. But, N’Diaye’s positioning could have been a little more to his left.
By conceding the second goal, he surely added himself to the infamous list comprising of the likes of David De Gea and Willy Caballero. Now you know what we are talking about.
He suffered a miscommunication with his defender, came out of his line to punch the ball away but was left with no chance when Honda slotted a goal past him. There was no need of committing to the ball in such a way.
