THE DAY REPLAYED - Football is a team game. Players and coaches alike will never cease insisting that "we win as a team and we lose as a team". However, from time to time it really is the individual stars who settle the outcome of a match. It used to be Diego Maradona, now it is the likes of Ronaldinho or Lionel Messi. On the second matchday in the Round of 16 at the FIFA U-20 World Cup Canada 2007, the honours went to Sergio Aguero. The diminutive Argentine striker turned in a dazzling display to wow the 20,000 sell-out crowd at the National Soccer Stadium in Toronto, and thrill the countless hordes watching on TV. His mazy dribbling and adroit touch on the ball provided the decisive moments in his side's triumph against Poland.

His goals served as the crowning glory on the day. After perfect interplay with Maximiliano Moralez to set up Angel Di Maria's first-half equaliser, Aguero fired his side into the lead less than 40 seconds after the restart. The goal oozed class: a lob over his marker's head, a shimmy, a shot, and the ball was in the net - a moment of near-perfection from the youthful starlet. His late second, as he deftly rounded the keeper to make the final score 3-1, was the icing on the cake of an outstanding evening for the pint-sized Argentine goal-getter.

Poland's courageous display and the opening goal of the match from Dawid Janczyk, later to receive his marching orders for a second bookable offence, paled by comparison to the Atletico Madrid youngster, whose five goals to date make him a strong candidate for the Golden Shoe - and potentially the Golden Ball.
