Alvarado reacted with lightning speed, diving full stretch to his right and just getting his fingertips on the ball to push it wide.
[Oh, what a save! Alvarado keeps the clean sheet intact with a top-class stop,] the first commentator shouted.
[That's outstanding goalkeeping! Roda JC were inches away from a consolation goal,] the second commentator added. [Credit to Alvarado—he's been sharp all night despite having little to do]
The deflected shot rolled out for a corner, and the Roda JC players jogged toward the box with renewed energy, sensing an opportunity to salvage some pride.
[This is their first corner of the game, would you believe it?] the first commentator said. [Let's see if they can make something of it]
The corner taker stood over the ball, raising a hand to signal his teammates. The box was crowded with players jostling for position.
