'I laughed during the match because the fans shouted as if it was a goal but my team mates made fun of me.

My left (foot) is my left, my right doesn't respond,' Rojo said with a loud laugh. 'I hit the rabona because it comes naturally to me. It has become a popular skill done by football fans and freestylers with many players showing off this skill on social media. The move earned Rojo an ovation like the one at the Maracana against Bosnia a year ago. The Rabona is a simple skill where a player kicks the ball with their legs crossed in order to confuse opposing players, avoid crossing the ball with their weaker foot or just to show off.

Rojo's left-footed cross was cleared back to him and, with the ball returning to his right leg, he brilliantly brought his left foot round behind it to cross again to the far side of the box where Pablo Zabaleta volleyed wide. His rabona, a movement wrapping one leg round behind the other to kick the ball associated with compatriots Diego Maradona, Claudio Borghi and more recently by Tottenham Hotspur's Erik Lamela, appeared again against Jamaica on Saturday. Often criticised by Argentina fans in his early days in the team, Rojo won them over with good performances at the World Cup including a goal against Nigeria, for which they composed a song, and a 'rabona' clearance in defence against Bosnia.

He moved to Spartak Moscow in December 2010 and on to Sporting of Portugal in 2012 before signing for United last August after the World Cup. Rojo, who is from La Plata, began his career at local side Estudiantes and helped them win the club's fourth South American Libertadores Cup in 2009.
