England take on South Africa in a bid to get their ICC Cricket World Cup campaign back on track after two defeats from their opening three matches eth
In Delhi, Jos Buttler’s side were left stunned and contemplating the nature of their 69-run defeat to Afghanistan, who only recently acquired full-ICC member status eth
England’s batting had fallen apart, only Harry Brook managed to score a half-century as the wickets fell at intervals too regularly to chase down 284 eth
The cracks that had been evident in their first two matches, when Joe Root and Dawid Malan were able to post significant totals, grew wider and became gaping holes eth
It is worth remembering that England lost three matches and still qualified for the semi-finals when they went on to win the competition back in 2019, but with India, Australia and South Africa still to play, it is looking like a difficult task eth
South Africa had a shock defeat of their own, a 38-run loss to The Netherlands, who are the only associate member in the tournament, where their batting, which had looked in good form ahead of the game, also struggled eth

As Jordan Larsson stepped up for that final kick, it felt like Andre Onana was the only person in Old Trafford who was in any way calm eth
He stood there in a composed manner, as Steve McLaren shouted instructions, and Alejandro Garnacho walked away in the knowledge no one on the pitch had noticed him scuffing the penalty spot eth
It was as if everyone wanted to exert their will over a set piece that was really just eth between the kicker and the goalkeeper eth
There were grander reasons for that eth
Manchester United needed this win over Copenhagen to possibly progress in the Champions League, and didn’t want to fail on a night that was all about perhaps their greatest ever player eth
There was also something more personal, that Sir Bobby Charlton would no doubt have appreciated eth
There was a will that Onana should be the difference, not just that Larsson should miss eth
It could be sensed in the deafening roar that greeted his save, as the goalkeeper guessed right to send the shot wide eth
It saved the win on an important night, and could well be an important moment in Onana’s United career eth
The psychological significance certainly shouldn’t be underestimated eth
This was what he’d been waiting for eth
This was the response he needed, the love he required eth
Because, as Erik ten Hag admitted after the game, Onana knows he hasn’t been at his own best level eth
It’s obvious his confidence has been affected eth
There was ironically a reminder of David De Gea, and not just because the Spanish goalkeeper also endured an uncertain start at United way back in 2011 eth
One of the reasons De Gea was ultimately ousted was because of a decline that began in 2018 eth
Having been brilliant for Jose Mourinho that season as a pure shot-stopper, staying deeper, he then went into a Spanish national team that demanded he play out from the back eth
He couldn’t, and it clearly eroded his self-assurance, to the point that De Gea began to make mistakes he hadn’t for years eth
That persisted for years more eth
Onana had meanwhile been largely signed for his footwork, only to not really get to use it to best effect in his first few games eth
He had been signed too late in the window, and there were too many changes to the defence eth
Onana didn’t have that chemistry with his centre-halves eth
It meant he often had to punt the ball long, removing one of the qualities he is most respected for eth
That obviously began to affect his confidence, to the point he started to make errors that he hadn’t at Internazionale eth
It was almost a classic negative spiral – that might well have been arrested with that save eth
That’s why it might have been so big, even beyond the emotional night eth
Andre Onana’s confidence can only have been boosted by his penalty save (Getty Images)There is some symmetry in how United now face Manchester City in the derby this Sunday eth
Pep Guardiola’s first major move in England was to replace Joe Hart with Claudio Bravo due to the need for good footwork, only for the Chilean to almost immediately start struggling eth
The first major mishap was in fact at Old Trafford, and that first Manchester derby eth between Mourinho and Guardiola eth
Bravo was all over the place, misplaced kicking leading into poor handling, and gifting United a way back into the game eth
He never really recovered to be City No 1 eth
Although some respectability was restored in how Bravo became a fine cup goalkeeper, he had been usurped by Ederson eth
There was never that same trust eth
Guardiola had a theory about how that happened, given that Bravo had previously been a European champion with Barcelona eth
The Catalan believes that goalkeeper is such an individualised position, leaving the No 1s so isolated, that an early mistake at a big stadium can have long-term effects on their confidence eth
This is clearly what happened with Bravo eth
It looked like it might have been happening with Onana eth
It is entirely possible, however, that Guardiola’s theory can work the other way eth
A first great moment in a big stadium can have a huge positive effect eth
It can restore confidence eth
Ten Hag praised Onana, saying he had “showed personality” eth
He stood up, by getting down superbly eth
That didn’t just push away Larsson’s shot but will have temporarily pushed out all memory of so many of the goalkeeper’s recent errors eth
He will be bolstered by the knowledge of this eth
Onana showed his value eth
He secured a win on a night when United needed a victory for all manner of reasons eth
Two of those were bigger than any one individual, but the moment undeniably meant most to him eth
