With Willard's one-man defense and the efforts of his teammates and goalkeepers, Tandil, who was only the last in the second division, had nothing to do. Even at their home court, they have not been able to score a goal.
On the contrary, it was the Hurricanes Athletic Team who played away from home. At the end of the first half, when everyone thought that the two sides were going to score a goalless draw in the first half, the Hurricanes played a tacit teamwork, and finally Gonzano Martinez kicked the ball. A wonderful pass tore open Tandil's defense. Shadow forward Espinoza entered the penalty area diagonally. He kicked off about 8 meters away from the goal in the penalty area and volleyed from close range to score a goal for Hurricanes Athletics. The team opened the scoring and took a 1-0 lead away from home.
At the end of the first half, he suddenly broke the deadlock and scored. Not only Espinoza scored the goal, but also other players, even the coaches and substitutes on the sidelines, and the Hurricanes fans in the stands and in front of the TV. , were quite surprised and celebrated grandly.
As for Tandil who lost the ball, he was naturally quite depressed.
But there was no time for them to equalize the score in the first half. The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 0-1, and the away team Hurricane Athletic temporarily led by one goal.
After a 15-minute rest, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. Both teams made no substitutions for the time being and continued the confrontation with the original team.
After all, this is Tandil's home court, and they haven't won even a single victory since the start of the new season, so the players and coaches are under a lot of pressure. Now the game is 0-1 behind again, which makes the Tandil players very impatient and increase their offensive intensity in the second half.
At the same time, the intensity of fouls has also been increased.
The South American stadium itself is not very formal. Even the first league has been changed again and again, let alone the second league, which is even more chaotic. In addition, second-level players generally have poor skills and have more physical collisions.
As a result, Tandil began to go berserk, causing Willard to feel frequent physical collisions.
But as mentioned before, Willard did not give in at all. Even though he knew that frequent physical collisions might hurt him, he couldn't give in. Once you give in, your opponent will think you are afraid, and they will intensify their attack on you.
You must establish an image of a tough guy with a strong waist and cannot be regarded as a soft persimmon.
In the 57th minute, Tandil got the ball in the backcourt and made a big kick to make a clearance and kicked the ball to the midfield.
Velarde and Tandil center Vilches rushed towards the ball's impact point. Neither of them flinched and jumped together. Their heads hit each other hard in the air, and then they held their heads together and screamed. fell to the ground.
In the end, both sides of the referee played a card and neither received a card, but both received warnings from the referee.
But neither of them showed any sign of repentance.
While Vilches was still thinking about how to take revenge on Velarde, Velarde had already taken action first.
In the 64th minute, Tandil bypassed Velarde's defense through team passing and cutting, and pushed the attack to the right side of the penalty area, where center Vilches just got the ball.
He raised his head and glanced in the direction of the goal, stood still on his left foot, raised his right foot, and was preparing for a powerful long-range shot.
As a result, at this moment, Velarde, who was returning to defense, made a fierce flying tackle from the side and rear, destroying the ball first, and during the sliding process of the flying tackle, Vilches was tackled to the ground.
The long-range shot opportunity was destroyed and was tackled by Velarde with the ball. Vilches felt quite embarrassed and got up and told the referee that it was Velarde's foul.
As a result, the referee thought it was a good goal and did not call Willard a foul.
Vilches was quite dissatisfied, but he had nothing to do with the referee. He did not dare to provoke the referee, so he went toe-to-toe with Willard in the next game, and began to challenge Willard continuously, trying to break through Willard, or Anger Velarde, let Velarde foul him, and get a free kick in the frontcourt.
However, Velarde performed very calmly and was not afraid of Vilches' collision. The two sides had three consecutive direct confrontations in the next ten minutes or so. However, these three direct duels ended in Willard's victory. At the A-Level B level, Velarde's current consciousness, physique, and defensive skills are basically invincible in a one-on-one match.
During the last one-on-one in the 78th minute, Vilches was stuck in position by Velarde and suddenly grabbed the ball, knocked the ball away from his feet, and staggered when he was tripped by Velarde. Chase suddenly burst out of emotion, turned around, cursed and pushed Willard in the chest.
Unable to break through Velarde, the team kept falling behind and failed to equalize. Vilches was a little emotionally unstable and wanted to anger Velarde and get him down.
Unexpectedly, Willard was quite calm this time. He did not grab Vilches' hand and throw him over his shoulder. Instead, he immediately fell backwards in an exaggerated manner and yelled, "What are you doing?" ", and then fell to the ground.
Just now, the ball was still at the feet of Wilches, and the referee's attention was also on the two of them. Coupled with Velarde's push, Velarde fell to the sky while dancing, the referee ran over to Velches without hesitation. Si showed a yellow card and warned him to pay attention to his actions.
Vilches lost more than he gained, and was about to cry without tears. He was also looked down upon by Willard when he stood up.
Unconvinced, Vilches wanted to continue a duel with Velarde, but his teammates had already seen that he could not pass Velarde. Letting him duel with Velarde again would undoubtedly be a waste of ball rights and opportunities. , so instead of passing the ball to him, he attacks from other directions in an attempt to score a goal.
But apart from Willard, the Hurricanes' other teammates are not bad either. Even Federico Bismara, who was a guest center back, performed quite well. Cooperating with his two center back teammates, and Velarde's return defense, he basically dealt with all the missed balls in the midfield. alright.
Therefore, Tandil failed to score any goals in the second half. He even had only one shot that hit the goal frame, and it was easily confiscated by goalkeeper Marcos Dias.
The commentators commented:
"Tandil may be losing again."
"Although this is Tandil's home stadium, it is still very difficult for them to score a goal. They have not won a game so far."
"Especially defensive midfielder Alan Willard, he defended Tandil very well. It was difficult for Tandil to pass through his defensive zone."
"Visches tried to duel with Velarde several times, but not only was he tackled by Velarde, but he was also shown a yellow card. There was no progress at all."
"Now there is not much time left in the game. With Velarde on the court and experienced players like Federico Bismara and Mancinelli behind him, Tandil wants to make progress. Ball, almost impossible.”
