The overall strength is not as good as the opponent, and they were beaten by the opponent almost the whole game, but now the Hurricanes took the lead to score, leading Banfield 1-0.
Whether it was Toranso who scored, Thomson Milla who assisted, or Velard who stole the ball in the backcourt to initiate a counterattack, as well as all the Hurricanes home fans in the stands, they all instantly shouted excitedly in celebration.
Toranso even rushed to the sideline and performed two consecutive front flips, making the fans scream even more.
Then his teammates caught up and surrounded Toranso, hugging him warmly in celebration.
This goal is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Hurricanes and makes everyone's morale even higher.
It was already the 71st minute when Toranso scored, and there was just over 20 minutes left in the game including stoppage time. As long as they persist for this period of time, the Hurricanes will once again eliminate Banfield from the A-League and advance to the quarterfinals of the cup.
Everyone was stimulated by this prospect and became even more motivated.
In the subsequent games, the Hurricanes players fought and ran more actively. They did not look like they had played for more than 70 minutes, but as if they had just started the game.
Everything is supported by spiritual power.
On the other hand, Banfield was also a little crazy. They knew that if they couldn't score as soon as possible, they might really be eliminated by the Hurricanes.
With the exception of the two centre-backs, almost all of Banfield's players, including the full-backs, rushed into the Hurricanes' half and bombarded the Hurricanes Athletic penalty area.
Even Velarde felt huge defensive pressure.
No matter how high Velard's defensive ability is, he still can't stop others when they perform exceptionally well.
In the 79th minute, Banfield midfielder Casares suddenly broke out, holding the ball continuously to break through the interceptions of Gonzano Martinez and Lucas Villaruel, and hit Velarde's goal. side.
Velarde rushed over to make up for the interception, but Casares passed the ball to Elviti behind Velarde, then moved forward without the ball and rushed directly into the penalty area. Elviti then passed the ball to Elviti behind Velarde. The ball was passed back to Casares' forward path, completing a two-and-one against the wall and passing Velarde.
With this kind of hitting the wall, even if Villard already knew what the opponent wanted to do, he had no choice but to fight back to defend.
But it was too late.
Casares, who broke through Velarde with a one-two against the wall, rushed into the penalty area, received the return pass from Elviti, and kicked the ball without stopping in the penalty area about 13 meters away from the goal. shot and kicked the ball towards the far corner of the goal.
Hurricanes center back Federico Bismara in the penalty area flew to tackle but failed to touch the ball; goalkeeper Marcos Dias flew to save but failed to touch the ball.
All the Hurricanes players and fans watched in horror as the ball flew against the turf toward the far corner of the goal.
Fortunately, in the end, the ball almost missed the far post and flew out of the baseline, failing to hit the goal frame.
The commentators all exclaimed:
"This ball is so dangerous!"
"By cooperating with his teammates in a one-two against the wall, Casares rarely broke through Velarde's interception and got the opportunity to enter the penalty area and shoot."
"It's a pity that Casares failed to seize this opportunity in the end. Although the shot he made was of high quality, it was slightly deflected and eventually missed the post and flew out of the baseline."
"If the ball had gone further in, it would have been a goal."
Although the goal was not scored in the end and no corner kick was given to the opponent, the Hurricanes players and fans were still scared. Especially head coach Mario Binco feels that if the opponent gets such an opportunity next time, he may not miss the ball. The area at the front of the penalty area must be guarded to prevent the opponent from entering the penalty area, and not even giving the opponent a chance to take a long shot directly at the goal.
Therefore, in the 82nd minute, Mario Binco made a substitution adjustment, withdrew winger Djimon Mandalino and replaced him with defender Bonny Fashaw and Federico Bismara. Freed up to play as a defensive midfielder, he changed his formation 4321 to enhance the defensive power of the midfielder at the front of the penalty area.
Bonny Fashaw is a full-back. Considering that the opponent's two forwards are not very tall, Banfield rarely breaks through from the wing and passes down the bottom. Bonny Fashaw is not under great pressure.
But after he came on the field, he liberated Federico Bismara, pressed out of the penalty area, and formed a double defensive midfielder with Velarde at the front of the penalty area, liberating Lucas Villaruel. , conducting a wider sweep, it is more difficult for Banfield's offense to penetrate the penalty area. Even outside the penalty area facing the goal, it is difficult to hold the ball and form a long shot.
Velarde himself is comparable to the level of a star defensive player in the First Division. Now with the help of Bismara, who is not low in level and has a lot of experience, the Hurricanes' midfield defense has become even more impregnable. Field's offensive threat is even less than before.
Seeing that the game time was getting shorter and shorter, in the 88th minute, Banfield used up the last substitution place and replaced it with an offensive midfielder to strengthen the attack.
However, in the face of the midfield sweep of Willard, Bismara, and Lucas, as well as the competition and clearance of several tall players in the penalty area, Banfield's offense was unable to even shoot in the final minutes. .
In the 91st minute of stoppage time, Banfield midfielder Noir's last pass from the wing was passed by Hurricanes center back Mancinelli out of the penalty area. Even the second goal was missed by the Hurricanes. He grabbed it and kicked it straight out of the sideline.
In the last few seconds, Banfield and even goalkeeper Servio rushed out of the penalty area and ran to the midfield to participate in the attack. Midfielder Domingo stepped in from the back row and hit the ball about 32 meters away from the goal outside the penalty area. A long shot flew high over the crossbar.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game. With Toranso's goal in the 71st minute, Atletico Hurricanes defeated the first division team Banfield 1-0 at home, won the Argentine Cup 1/8 finals, and advanced to the Argentine Cup quarter-finals in the 2013/2014 season.
"The referee blew the final whistle and the game was over."
"Atletico Hurricanes from the second division of Argentina defeated the first division team Banfield 1-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Argentine Cup."
"Following their upset victory over Boca Juniors in the last round, Hurricanes Atletico also beat Banfield in this round to move on."
"The great Hurricane Athletics team upset the Class A team in two consecutive rounds. It is both surprising and exciting."
“Without a doubt, upsets are the most exciting for neutral fans.”
"Tomorrow's media coverage will again be occupied by the Hurricanes Athletic Team."
Amid the excited commentary by the commentators, all the Hurricanes fans at the scene and in front of the TV broke into deafening cheers.
The Hurricanes coaches, team doctors, staff, substitute players, etc., who had been waiting on the sidelines, also rushed into the field like crazy to celebrate with the players on the field.
Velarde also received a generous reward while hugging his teammates to celebrate.
This is the Argentine Cup, not the Argentine League B. The reward for starting a game and scoring a goal is 100,000 experience points. Although Willard did not score a goal or assist, his performance received another A-level rating from the system, and the team also won the ball.
Therefore, in the end, the total experience he gained was 100,000 starting points + winning bonus 1*100,000 + A-level rating 500,000 = 700,000. The total experience rose to level 12, 801,000/400,000, and was automatically upgraded to level 13, 401,000/400,000. 500,000, received an upgrade reward of 20 skill points, and the balance of skill points increased to 50.
