Is this what they mean by the 12th man in football?

It's tough enough trying to get the ball past one goalkeeper without having to worry about a second one. In this Argentinian game, the attacking player races through on goal and finishes well past the goalkeeper only to see a substitute player (still wearing a substitute's bib) and saves the ball on the line.

The goal was not awarded with an indirect free kick, which was missed, being given instead.
