Realising they needed to put in a heroic performance to get the necessary victory, Argentine fourth division club Sacachispas decided to assemble their very own "Justice League" ahead of a crunch Copa Argentina clash with top-tier outfit Arsenal de Sarandí.
Indeed, in bizarre scenes, the team from Buenos Aires' Villa Soldati neighbourhood came out for kick-off while all wearing a variety of superhero masks.
Spiderman, Batman, Superman and Iron Man were just a few of the masked vigilantes present as the minnows lined up for their cup clash at the Estadio Ciudad de Caseros on Wednesday.
