I thought I'd mention that Rufer's penalty wasn't actually particularly good, at least the way it looked to me. Before his run up/as he was starting to run up he was looking to the keeper's right, but then began looking at the ball, and from there his body language seemed to show clearly he was going to hit it to the keeper's left, which he did, but his penalty wasn't exactly right in the corner or hit with incredible pace, I think it was very saveable had the keeper guessed right. And unless he has exceptional peripheral vision there isn't any evidence he hit it that way because he saw the keeper going the other way, his body language did not show he made any sort of change to his motion after he had begun running up. The keeper just straight up got fooled completely by Rufer giving him the eyes at the start. That pen doesn't make me confident he scores the next one. I think I'd prefer somebody else stepped up to take them, I'd prefer Kraev myself, I suspect he would be quite good at them.
