    picked.

    Calafiori (my 7th cycle pick) with decisive slalom and assist for
    Zaccagni's dramatic equalizer that sends Italy to the second round. He
    had been widely compared to Maldini/Nesta/Cannavaro for his looks and
    elegance after his first matches (and despite the own goal vs Spain),
    now comparisons to Beckenbauer are popping up:

    From the Guardian:

    GOAL! Croatia 1-1 Italy (Zaccagni 90+8)

    What drama here! Calafiori channels his inner Beckenbauer and slaloms
    down the middle. He slips a pass wide left for Zaccagni, who is in
    acres. He cuts into the box, opens his body, and steers a glorious
    power-curler across Livaković and into the top right! What a wonderful
    goal, and it’s heartbreak for Croatia!
