Gonzalo Higuain finally showed there may be more to Argentina than Lionel Messi after all.
Having spent a month on the sidelines because of an ankle injury, Higuain had looked ponderous in previous appearances in Brazil, but after putting Argentina in front against Belgium, he was a man transformed.
Higuain suddenly looked every inch the player who had scored 17 goals for Napoli last season in his debut Serie A campaign.
"I had faith in my qualities. The coach and the staff were behind me, and that's what matters to me," he said after Argentina's 1-0 quarter-final victory.
"I'm already thinking about the semi-final. We have two matches left to make history."
