The Mrsool Park in Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, was home to an emotional game between Barcelona and Boca Juniors to honor Argentine legend Diego Armando Maradona. Here, check out the highlights and goals of the Maradona Cup.
El Blaugrana and El Xeneize finished tied 1-1 in regular time, which is why the winner was decided on penalties. Following a goalless first half, both got back to the field agressively for the remaining 45 minutes. Ferran Jutgla put Xavi's side in front with a fantastic strike before Exequiel Zeballos cancelled out Barca's lead. In the shootout, Boca emerged victorious 4-2 as all their shooters were on target while goalkeeper Agustin Rossi stepped up to save one penalty, and Guillem missed another.
