Jordan v Argentina: Exploiting the reaction window 🎯  At short range, a direct free kick can reach the goal in well under one second, leaving the goalkeeper with almost no time to react.  Against Jordan, Lionel Messi didn't just rely on pinpoint accuracy or power. Instead, he exploited the goalkeeper's already limited reaction window, with his attacking teammates creating a second wall that further obstructed the goalkeeper's line of sight.  Sometimes the biggest advantage isn't added power or more curl, it's simply taking away a fraction of a second. The simplest strategies are often the most effective.
