After conceding the ball first, the home team became anxious. After all, everyone knows how strong the Hurricanes' defense is under the command of Alan Willard this season.
With Hurricanes scoring the first goal to take the lead, the win was basically guaranteed.
Therefore, San Lorenzo must score an equalizer as soon as possible to have a chance of reversing the win.
However, because of this goal, the Hurricane Athletic team's morale and state improved greatly, and they showed no signs of weakness when they fought hard.
In the 19th minute, Lucas Villaruel knocked down San Lorenzo midfielder Sebastian Blanco and was warned by the referee, but no card was given.
In the 23rd minute, San Lorenzo full-back Bufalini pushed Alejandro Romero off the sideline, fell and hit a billboard before stopping, and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
In the 27th minute, Bufalini suffered retaliation from Avila. A side flying tackle knocked Bufalini to the ground with the ball, and Avila also received a yellow card.
In the 30th minute, Velarde blocked the referee's view of the opponent's forward Matos when he was fighting for the top and hit Matos in the chest with his elbow, which caused Matos to slow down for a long time before he got up.
However, it was Velard who grabbed the ball during the aerial challenge, and the referee had no evidence of Velard's elbow. In the end, he was only given a warning, asking Velard to pay attention to his actions.
Willard responded to the referee's remarks without hesitation, saying that he would pay attention and would not do it again next time.
But just four minutes later, Velarde knocked No. 10 Leandro Romagnoli of the home team to the ground with a flying tackle.
The more critical issue is that Velarde tackled the ball first and then tackled Romagnoli. It was Romagnoli who failed to dodge in time when he had already lost the ball and was defended. Ladd tackled it.
The referee couldn't even give a warning. He could only award San Lorenzo a foul ball because Velard shoveled the ball out of the sideline.
But Leandro Romagnoli fell hard to the ground and lay there for most of the day. After some treatment from the team doctor, he reluctantly stood up.
Just now, Velarde was not looking for a foul intentionally, but with his 87 awareness and defensive tackle ability, he was really sure to tackle the ball before releasing the tackle.
As for Leandro Romagnoli's inability to dodge, and he was hit by him and tackled him with the ball, he could only blame the opponent for his slow reaction and failure to dodge in time.
Willard had no intention of going on a killing spree and leaving himself to the referee.
After being retaliated hard by Velarde and his teammates, San Lorenzo also saw that the Hurricanes were not afraid of them, so they had to return their attention to the game.
If you compete physically with the Hurricanes Athletic Team, you may not be able to win. Just two players with extremely good physiques, Velarde and Avila, can crush San Lorenzo. They cannot win against physical collisions.
What's more, now that San Lorenzo is lagging behind, wouldn't it be what the Hurricanes want if they get into a physical entanglement with the Hurricanes?
Therefore, San Lorenzo woke up in time and began to deliberately avoid Villard's defense zone. Even if it took more time and effort, it was not willing to fight Villard one-on-one.
In the 37th minute, San Lorenzo, who deliberately avoided Velarde, finally made a pass from Musis on the right. Center Matos overpowered Nervo and grabbed the first header to ferry the midfielder. Sebastián Blanco stepped in from the back and volleyed home to level the score at 1-1.
This goal finally allowed the 40,000 home fans in the stands to vent their emotions, and they burst into applause and cheers. Blanco, Matos and others in the stadium also rushed to the sidelines and were so excited that they stacked up to celebrate.
To be able to score and equalize the score when the Hurricanes were in the lead was a very tenacious and good performance from them.
Of course, it would be better if the score could be reversed.
Therefore, after the game restarted, San Lorenzo, whose morale was greatly improved, continued to attack aggressively, trying to score more goals and directly reverse the score.
However, the Hurricanes Athletic Team was not collapsed by the loss of the ball. Velarde also increased the coverage of his running, even covering the wing, which made San Lorenzo's wing attack not smooth.
Anyway, Velarde's physique has been increased to 90, and the accompanying physical fitness is definitely enough for the South American arena. Coupled with the speed of 87, whether it is sprinting back and forth or moving repeatedly and assisting in defense, it is very fast, which makes San Lorenzo's offense start to fall into a quagmire. It is not as smooth as before, and there are not so many opportunities.
Before the end of the first half, in the 44th minute, the Hurricanes played a good team game. Willard stepped in from the back row and sent a wonderful pass, stuffing the ball into the gap on the right side of the penalty spot in the penalty area. , Toranso understood it, rushed over, and almost scored twice with a powerful shot.
Unfortunately, the ball hit the outside of the post and bounced off the baseline. If it had been a little further inside, the ball would have gone in.
The first half ended with a score of 1-1.
After a 15-minute rest, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Although both sides fought hard, no one fell back. Maybe it's just the fans who hate each other, and the players just fight for money, and no one wants to get hurt?
Of course Velarde is willing to play in this kind of game, and he is very good at it. With his 90% physique and 87% awareness, speed, heading, and defense, he has every advantage in fighting.
In the 54th minute, midfielder Sebastián Blanco knocked down Lucas Villaruel with a dazzling bicycle kick. He may have been in the excitement of breaking through Lux and failed to turn it over. The ball is passed out, but another Matthews is trying to pass, trying to break through Velarde, forming a connection between the two people in the middle, and then directly hitting the front of the penalty area. Whether he shoots or distributes the ball, he is a threat. quite big.
But apparently he was overthinking it.
Willard made a decisive move, got stuck in position and poked the ball away. Sebastian Blanco, who was unable to stop the car, bumped into Velarde, staggering and almost falling.
He also wanted to complain to Willard for a foul, but the referee ignored him.
In addition to defense, Velarde often uses his skills to send out pass assists.
In the 60th minute, Lucas and Bonny Fashaw teamed up to force the opponent's full-back Musis to pass the ball. The passing intention was seen through by Velarde, who intercepted the ball before forward Matos.
Later, Verard personally dribbled the ball forward and launched a backcourt attack. When encountering the opponent's midfielder Blanco's interception, Verard in turn made a Matthews pass.
However, Sebastian Blanco's defensive ability was unable to stop Velarde, who had a technical attribute of 82, and Velarde easily broke through.
Blanco even tried to risk a foul and reached out to pull down Velarde, but Velarde broke free with his strong physique, then drove the ball straight in, and then hit the wall with Toranso and then separated, Tulasa side The road responded and the ground ball passed in front of the goal. Avila rushed over and made a flying tackle. Unfortunately, the space was too small. Goalkeeper Torico was already very close to Avila. Rico blocked all angles.
The ball hit Torico in the chest, bounced off his elbow, bounced back into the penalty area, and was then cleared by the San Lorenzo defender.
"pity."
"Avila's shot was too close to the goal and was blocked from all angles by the goalkeeper."
"The ball bounced off the goalkeeper's chest after being tackled by Avila and failed to break through Torico's block."
“Both sides continued to fight in the midfield for possible scoring opportunities.”
Just when the Hurricanes were still regretting that Avila's shovel shot in front of the goal failed to break the opponent's goal, just three minutes later, San Lorenzo in turn launched a wave of attacks near the Hurricanes' penalty area.
When No. 10 Leandro Romagnoli picked up the ball on the left side of the penalty area, right back Mancinelli was intercepting and defending, and center back Eduardo Domingos was assisting in defense behind Mancinelli. , trying his best to block the opponent's shooting route and prevent Romagnoli from suddenly shooting after swaying Mancinelli.
As a result, Romagnoli really shook Mancinelli away with a spike, and then immediately took a shot.
This shot was picked up by Romagnoli and hit the near end corner.
Eduardo Domingos was caught off guard and had no time to stop. Or, he subconsciously wanted to block the ball, so he didn't stop to avoid it.
As a result, the ball accidentally hit his wrist and was clearly seen by the referee.
There was no suspense. Eduardo Dominguez committed a handball foul in the penalty area and was awarded a penalty kick.
Neither Eduardo Domingos himself nor the players of the Hurricanes were embarrassed to complain. Because this ball is so obvious, there is no misjudgment or missed whistle.
It can only be said that Dominguez and the Hurricanes are so unlucky.
Under the nervous gaze of the home team fans in the stands, forward No. 26 Matos made an immediate volley and kicked the ball into the lower right corner.
Although goalkeeper Marcos Dias judged the right direction, the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky, so he still failed to save the ball.
The goal was valid, and San Lorenzo used a penalty kick to reverse the score 2-1 in the 63rd minute.
At this time, the entire Bydgean Stadium was really boiling.
In a game against a mortal enemy, any team must celebrate grandly after conceding a goal first and then scoring two goals to reverse the score, and San Lorenzo is no exception.
Not only the goal scorer Matos and the players on the field, but also the coaches and substitute players on the bench, all rushed over excitedly and gathered together to celebrate warmly.
The home team fans in the stands gave out huge applause, cheers, and screams, shouting for the home team's goal to reverse the score.
On the other hand, everyone on the Hurricanes Athletic Team was a little listless.
Being reversed by the opponent after leading by one goal has not happened to the Hurricanes recently.
Everyone was a little confused and a little frustrated.
At this moment, Alan Willard stood up again and shouted to everyone:
"Keep your head up!"
"What are you discouraged about?"
"The game is far from over, there is still half an hour left."
"Are you going to raise your hands and surrender?"
As he said that, Willard also pointed to the visiting Hurricanes fans in a corner of the stands who were holding scarves and singing the team song, facing off against ten times their own fans, and said: "They haven't given up, they are still singing the team song. The song supports us, are you going to surrender?”
"Keep your heads up and get ready to compete."
"There is still half an hour left, give me an attack and score goals. We must not only score goals, but also reverse the situation and take victory away from this stadium."
"Victory belongs to Hurricane Athletics!"
Captain Mancinelli also stood up and hugged his teammates one by one, asking everyone to cheer up and continue the game.
Encouraged by Velarde and Mancinelli, the Hurricanes players braced themselves and prepared to continue fighting, striving for goals, equalizers, and reversals.
