During the intermission, Mario Binco encouraged everyone:
“Everyone did a great job in the first half.”
"Although we were once overwhelmed by our opponents and were in danger, you all survived."
"Moreover, the two opposing players collided with each other and knocked themselves off the field. Both their strength and morale were greatly affected."
"That's how the football game is. In addition to strength, there is also an element of luck."
"Everyone keep working hard in the second half. No matter whether you are ahead or behind, never give up or relax until the last moment."
"However, our strength is indeed limited. The opponent is going all out to attack, and our defense is a bit dangerous, so I have to make adjustments. I hope everyone understands."
Then, Mario Binco made substitution adjustments, replacing shadow forward Espinosa with the versatile offensive and defensive Lucas Villaruel, and switched to 4231 defensive counterattack. While strengthening the defensive capabilities of the Hurricanes Athletic Team, it also allows Lucas's offensive organizational skills to come into play, and he also has considerable counterattack capabilities during counterattacks.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. The Hurricanes made substitutions at the beginning of the second half, replacing Espinosa with Lucas.
After 4231 changes, the Hurricanes Athletics team, which strengthened its midfielder defensive capabilities, was indeed more stable than in the second half of the first half. With the assistance of Lucas and Velarde's own defensive command ability, the Hurricanes Athletics basically stabilized their position.
Although Rafaelna regained his strength after the halftime break and wanted to resume the offensive momentum of the first half and break down the Hurricanes' defense, he was never able to get shots like he did in the first half. Opportunity.
On the contrary, Hurricane Athletics, while defending, when they got the ball, they were able to launch a counterattack from the backcourt through Lucas or Velarde, whose technical attributes had been increased to 68, threatening Rafael's defense.
In the 62nd minute, after receiving the pass from Lucas, Velard looked up at the frontcourt, surprisingly made a long pass, and passed a high-quality through ball, going straight to Lafayette. The frontier of the Leonard penalty area.
No one expected that Velard had such a through ball ability. The players Rafael took were caught off guard. Three players along the way tried to block the ball but failed to touch it. The ball smoothly rolled into the gap in the front court.
Forward Thomson Milla easily received the ball in the gap. Facing the last and only defender Ferrari, Milla did not try to break through the opponent. He simply moved the ball diagonally to the right and then stretched out. He used his left hand to stop the opponent, leaned on Ferrari, raised his right foot and volleyed, and chose a long shot directly outside the penalty area about 26 meters away from the goal.
Under normal circumstances, the probability of scoring a long shot from such a distance is low. But this time, Thomson Mira showed excellent shooting sense. Not only did he hit the ball hard, he hit a powerful long-range shot, he also hit it from an extremely tricky angle. Run towards the upper right corner.
Goalkeeper Conde, who was standing in the small penalty area, tried his best to fly and pounce, but he couldn't even touch the ball. The ball flew diagonally above his palm, and then flew into the goal against the intersection of the crossbar and the uprights.
This is the semi-final of the Argentina Cup. There are many more media broadcasting this game than the Argentine League B. There are not only national TV stations, local TV stations, but also various online live broadcast platforms, whether they are commentators on site or in the studio. Unless they are fans of La Ferna, everyone else, as neutral personnel, is actually full of expectations for the Hurricanes to continue to defeat La Ferna and advance to the finals.
People who watch football, unless they have a team or star they support, most of the time like to watch upsets and watch strong teams capsize in the gutter and be overturned by weak teams.
In this situation where the A-League team VS the A-B team is clearly strong and weak, neutral fans will naturally support the Hurricanes Athletic Team more.
When the Hurricanes were pressed in the first half, no one could support them.
Now the Hurricane Athletics actually scored the first goal, opened the scoring, and led La Ferna 1-0, so all the commentators excitedly roared at the loudest voice:
"Goooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"Miracle!"
"Haha, Hurricane Athletics scored first!"
"The goal was scored by Thomson Mira. He used a shocking long-range shot from outside the penalty area to give the Hurricanes the first victory."
"And the one who assisted him was midfielder Alan Willard!"
"Willard not only made a huge contribution in the defense, leading his teammates to keep the goal clean, but also sent a long pass of more than 30 meters to help Thomson Milla open the scoring."
"Hurricane Athletics leads 1-0 and has the opportunity to advance to the finals."
"Now it depends on whether the Hurricanes can withstand Rafael's counterattack."
"This is a game that determines the outcome. Rafaelna will definitely counterattack crazily."
"Now it's time to test Velarde and the Hurricanes defence."
Indeed, as the commentators said, Rafaelna will definitely have to counterattack next, and the Hurricanes' defense is under a lot of pressure.
But at this moment, everyone just wants to celebrate.
Whether it was Thomson Milla who scored the goal, Alan Willard who assisted, or other players, they all hugged each other crazily and celebrated.
Desia in the stands also jumped up with excitement and clapped vigorously, attracting side glances from the surrounding fans. But seeing the bodyguards on her left and right, she didn't dare to have other thoughts.
The reason why Desia was excited was naturally because Mira's goal came from an assist from Velarde. Velarde not only led his teammates to complete the defensive task, but also sent such a wonderful long pass. Assisted Thomson Milla to score a goal.
So handsome!
This feeling of being like a killer, hiding in the backcourt, and suddenly sending a long pass straight into the opponent's heart with a fatal blow, fascinates Desia.
Little girls and ordinary fans may only be fascinated by forward goals, but Desia is not an ordinary person. She also likes the performance of Willard, the core of the defense and the leader of the defensive line. Of course, she was even more excited when she suddenly hit a fatal long pass like just now to help the team take the lead.
At this moment, Desia admired Willard extremely.
After completing the celebration, Velarde and others returned to their own half and asked Rafael to take the ball away from the center circle.
After the game restarted, Rafaelna went crazy and began to attack from all front.
It's impossible without a fierce attack.
Although there was almost half an hour left in the game, the strength of the Hurricanes' defensive line led by Willard was obvious to all. They didn't penetrate the Hurricanes' defense in the first 60 minutes. Will they definitely be able to in 30 minutes?
uncertain.
Therefore, the seemingly ample 30 minutes was actually not too ample. They needed to attack immediately.
Now it's time to test Velarde and the Hurricanes' defense.
In the 69th minute, Rafaelna made a pass from the left wing. Substitute forward Roion succeeded in a header and almost scored a goal. Fortunately, goalkeeper Marcos Dias was in a very good position. Jia, just blocked the ball with a wave of his hand.
In the 73rd minute, the home team's left midfielder Rodriguez passed a diagonal pass into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle. Alvertengo headed the ball in the penalty area with his back to the goal. Midfielder Gonzalez inserted a volley from the back row and hit a great goal. High quality.
Fortunately, the opponent Mancinelli arrived in time, jumped up and flew to block the hole of the gun. The ball hit Mancinelli's stomach and was blocked, which made him slow for a long time before he got up.
In the 79th minute, Velarde, who returned to the penalty area, faced the ball in the air. At the risk of being hit in the head by the opponent's forward Alvertengo, he succeeded in clearing the ball with a header, resolving the crisis once again.
As time went by, Rafael's offensive became more and more fierce, and the Hurricanes' defense felt a little shaky again. Once the home team scores a goal and equalizes the score, morale will go up and down, and maybe they will lose.
"withstand!"
"Mandarino, get on top."
"Lucas, watch your right side."
"Echeberria, watch the edges!"
"Captain, step back."
Velarde has completely become the leader of the Hurricanes' defense. He constantly adjusts his defense through his awareness and defensive experience. Even captain Mancinelli is commanded by him.
It was also under the command of Velarde that although Rafael used his entire team to attack fiercely and created many shooting opportunities, in fact, there were not many real threats to the goal. These hits were within the goal frame. The shot was also saved by goalkeeper Marcos Dias.
While constantly sweeping back and forth, defending, and directing his teammates to build a strong defense, Velarde has not forgotten to counterattack. When he has the opportunity, he will also loudly call on his teammates to rush forward to create murderous opportunities.
If they can score one more goal, the Hurricanes Athletics will completely seal the victory.
When the time came to the 87th minute, Rafael was completely desperate and attacked wildly. Even the center back was pressed to the edge of the Hurricanes' penalty area. Velarde suddenly came out from the side and back again and snatched Rafael away. Er took the ball from attacking midfielder Gonzalez, then immediately passed it to Lucas Villaruel, and shouted to Avila, who came on as a substitute and replaced Mira: "Avila, go! "
Avila, who was standing outside the penalty area, heard Velarde's call and immediately turned around and sprinted towards Rafael's half at full speed. At the same time, Lucas Villaruel, who had the ball, as well as winger Toranso, midfielder Gonzano Martinez, etc., all tried their best to rush towards the opponent's half.
Rafael's midfielders also came back to defend like a tide, but they pressed too far forward and failed to block the Hurricanes' counterattack route. Avila got the ball on the right and made a successful pass. Cross from kick.
The ball was not passed high, but it was very fast. Rafael, who rushed back to the penalty area, used center back Bitol to block Gonzano Martinez at the front point and grabbed the first point, trying to push the ball out of the baseline. Rescue.
As a result, the speed of the ball exceeded his expectation, and he was pulled by Martinez behind him, causing him to hit the ball a little slower. He happened to hit the ball in a wrong position. Not only did he fail to hit the ball out of the baseline, but instead The ball was headed toward his own goal.
Goalkeeper Conde, who had been relieved after seeing Bitol grab the first point, was caught off guard. He didn't even have time to subconsciously raise his head to block the ball. He just watched the ball pass between him and the near post. A goal was drilled into the gap between them.
Own goals!
In the 87th minute, the Hurricanes counterattacked quickly, and forward Avila made a pass from the right, causing Rafael to score an own goal from center back Bitol, allowing him to score his own goal and head the ball into his own goal. goal.
"Ha ha……"
"Own goals!"
"Bitol scored an own goal, heading Avila's cross into his own goal."
"Hurricane Athletics leads 2-0."
"At this time and with this score, Hurricane Athletics has basically secured the victory."
"Hurricane Racing is about to win this game, pull off another upset, create a miracle, and advance to the Agen Cup final."
