After changing the offensive line, in the 85th minute, Boca Juniors passed an inverted triangle pass from the right through winger Gigliotti, and the midfielder Elvis hit it without defense outside the top of the penalty area. A powerful and heavy world wave went straight to the upper right corner.
Fortunately, goalkeeper Marcos Dias was highly focused and made a timely dive to the side, successfully saving the ball from the baseline.
After Boca Juniors' inverted triangle backpass threatened to shoot, Willard also began to be wary of the opponent's bottom line passback.
In the 89th minute, just as injury time was about to enter, Boca Juniors repeated its old trick, with forward Juan Martinez passing the ball in an inverted triangle from the right, preparing to pass the ball back to the center. Above, midfielder Castellani is drilling into the gap at the top of the penalty area to complete a head-on shot.
After all, the overall strength of the Hurricanes is in the second division. After being bombarded by Boca Juniors for a long time, everyone is not only physically and mentally exhausted, but also has a much slower reaction. There is indeed an undefended loophole in the front of the penalty area. As long as it is allowed to Castellani received the ball and shot without interference, which was entirely possible to score and equalize the score.
That Hurricanes Athletics will implode on its own.
At this critical moment, Velarde, who had returned to the penalty area, suddenly rushed out as if he knew the opponent would pass the ball in an inverted triangle, and made a flying tackle before Castellani could catch the ball. Interception, successfully shoveled the ball away and destroyed it.
"nice shot!"
Mario Binco on the sidelines couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded Velarde's crucial tackle.
Velarde's key tackle not only destroyed Castellani's catch and shot, but also gave the ball to his own forward Mila.
Mira catches the ball, turns around, and sprints for the ball, all in one go. Hurricane Athletics took advantage of the situation and launched a quick counterattack. Although Allawi's shot failed to score in the end, it forced the opponent's goalkeeper Orion to save the ball from the bottom line and won a corner kick.
In this game, Boca Juniors won a lot of corner kicks through crazy attacks, but they failed to score. The reason is that the three central defenders system of Hurricanes Athletics has too much height advantage.
On the other hand, although the number of corner kicks received by the Hurricanes Athletic Team is not as high as that of Boca Juniors, they can obtain a considerable threat every time.
This has become an important means for the Hurricanes to score goals.
It was the same this time. When I saw a corner kick in the frontcourt, the three central defenders Mancinelli, Santiago Echeberria, and Eram Spey, who had better header skills, all came to the opponent's penalty area and participated. After a corner kick, Willard was left alone in the midfield to prevent Boca Juniors' counterattack.
Subsequently, Giman Mandalino took a corner kick. Hurricanes center back Mancinelli jumped high in the Boca penalty area, successfully grabbed the first point, flicked his head towards the goal, and smashed the ball hard. Entered the gate of Boca Juniors.
The distance was too close. Even Orion, the national goalkeeper who had been selected for the Argentina national team, had nothing to do. He could only wave his hand subconsciously and watched the ball fly into the goal without touching anything.
At this moment, even the TV commentators who were originally optimistic about Boca Juniors went crazy:
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"The ball went in!!!"
"Hurricane Athletics!"
"They scored again!"
"Second goal!"
"Not only did they not concede a goal, they pursued the victory and scored the second goal, leading the giant Boca Juniors 2-0 at the Candy Box Stadium!"
"Remember No. 2 Mancinelli, it was he who gave Boca Juniors a heavy blow with his header."
"Also remember No. 33 Alan Willard, it was his key tackle just now, which not only destroyed Boca Juniors' attack, but also caused the Hurricanes' counterattack and won this corner kick in exchange for Mancinelli scored with a header."
"With only ten minutes left in the game, can Boca Juniors score two goals in a row to restore the dignity of their world-class club?"
"It's hard for me to look at!"
"Although No. 33 Velarde looks young, he was very nervous when he first came on the field. When Gigliotti met him, he broke through with a tail flick."
"But now as the game progresses, Velarde has fully adapted to the rhythm of the game, and his performance is becoming more and more stable, not like a 21-year-old young man at all. Boca Juniors wants to threaten the midfield of Atletico Hurricanes The goal, it’s very difficult.”
"The key is, time is running out and Hurricanes are leading not by one goal, but by two."
"In a football match, being ahead by two goals can already be said to have sealed the victory. What's more, the time left for Boca Juniors now, even including injury time, is only a few minutes left."
All the Hurricanes fans in the stands and in front of the TV were going crazy. Those fans who did not go to watch the game because they felt they were going to lose were all at home beating their feet and chest, regretting it endlessly.
Both sides are in the capital, and the Candy Box Stadium is not far away, only more than ten kilometers away. As a result, they were not able to witness such a great game live. Those fans who had the conditions to go but didn't were so regretful that they wanted to hit the wall.
As for Dalia, Bonnie Fashaw and others who were watching the game live and were also members of the team, they were even more excited and could not contain themselves.
It's the thrill of being part of a dragon-slaying legend that's mind-numbingly thrilling.
In the stadium, all the Hurricanes players went crazy. They all rushed to Boca Juniors' corner kick, pushed Mancinelli, the hero of the goal, to the ground and celebrated wildly, including the coach and teammates who rushed from the substitute area. , substitute players.
2-0, with only a few minutes left, everyone was already excited to the point of getting goosebumps.
Everyone knew that victory was not far away from them. As long as they hold on for a few more minutes, they can create a dragon-slaying miracle and a super upset for a second-tier team to overturn the first-tier giants.
Therefore, they are not only celebrating, but also using an excuse to delay the game.
Willard is no exception. The pleasure of participating in dragon slaying is so exciting that even with his 36-year-old mental age, he can't help himself.
The celebration of the Hurricanes lasted for more than half a minute. The anxious Boca Juniors players complained to the referee before they were stopped by the referee and returned to their own half to restart the game.
Boca Juniors prepared to attack with all their strength and launched a crazy attack.
But at this time, Mario Binco changed his formation again.
After using a crazy gambling style to score the second goal, he calmly removed a striker, replaced it with a defender, and ordered Lucas to withdraw to the midfielder position, changing the formation 4231, all of a sudden It has become a solid anti-counterattack formation again.
Lucas swept in front, and Velarde, who performed steadily, assisted in defense behind him, leaving Boca Juniors' attack in the middle unable to do anything.
With the addition of one full-back, coupled with the help of two full-backs and two defensive midfielders, Boca Juniors' wing attack is not as smooth as before.
Although Boca Juniors launched a crazy attack in the last few minutes, the Hurricanes' soldiers with high morale and unity finally withstood the giant's attack and did not allow Boca to score even a single goal. Even Boca paid the price of a direct red card for one player in stoppage time, but failed to defeat the Hurricanes.
Moreover, the referee delayed the 3-minute stoppage time to 5 minutes. It cannot be said that he did not take care of Boca Juniors' status as a giant and the emotions of the home fans.
But even so, Boca Juniors still failed to score even a goal in stoppage time. In the end, Atletico Hurricanes defeated the Argentinian giants Boca Juniors 2-0 in an away game and advanced to the top 16 of the Argentine Cup.
When the referee blew the final whistle, one commentator was even moved to tears:
"The referee finally blew the whistle to end the game and the Hurricanes won."
"The Hurricanes from the second division, in the 1/16 finals of the Argentine Cup, at the Candy Box Stadium, the home of Boca Juniors, under the watchful eyes of more than 20,000 die-hard Boca Juniors fans, they defeated 2-0 Defeat Boca Juniors, slay a dragon and advance to the last 16 of the Argentinian Cup.”
"They kept Boca Juniors clean and allowed the world-class giants, which have won numerous A-League titles, the Copa Libertadores, and the Toyota Cup, not to score a single goal at their home court."
"Great Hurricanes, great Mario Binco, they did wonders."
"Hurricanes coach Mario Binco used a series of jaw-dropping changes to catch Boca Juniors off guard and achieved brilliant results."
"This is a great dragon-slaying saga and a huge upset."
"Tomorrow's TV and newspaper headlines will be dominated by the Hurricanes."
"It is impossible for such a Hurricanes team not to be promoted when there are 10 promotion places in the second division this year."
"Next year, we will definitely see them on the A-League stage. Let's see if there are any other A-League giants besides Boca Juniors who have fallen under the butcher's knife of the Hurricanes."
All the Hurricanes fans at the scene and in front of the TV celebrated like crazy. The coaches, team doctors, staff, and substitute players who had been waiting on the sidelines also rushed into the court excitedly, and competed with the players and players on the court. The coaches celebrated wildly together.
As for the Boca Juniors players, they were all downcast and listless, unable to face the home fans.
What made them even more worried was that some home fans applauded the winning Hurricanes Athletic Team. This was undoubtedly a slap in their faces.
The Hurricanes Athletic Team can proudly leave the Candy Box Stadium with a brilliant victory to start their 2014 AFC Second Division play-off journey.
With this brilliant victory, I believe that after this year's A-League play-offs, the Hurricanes Athletic Team will be successfully promoted to the A-League.
Whether it is the club's senior management, coaches, players, or fans, everyone firmly believes it.
Not even Boca Juniors can stop the Hurricanes, let alone other Serie B teams.
