Altay Bayindir, the stand-in goalkeeper, failed to deal with a first-half corner, resulting in a goal that determined the match's outcome. Roy Keane criticized Bayindir for lacking aggression and being unprepared, while Micah Richards defended Bayindir, suggesting his defense should have provided better protection. Despite their differing opinions, Keane maintained that the goalkeeper should have been more assertive, arguing that goalkeeping requires a strong mindset. The exchange showcased a heated debate over responsibility in goalkeeping during high-pressure situations.
