After San Lorenzo finished celebrating, the game continued.
I don’t know if he felt that after reversing the score 2-1, the victory was already guaranteed. In the next few minutes, the head coach of San Lorenzo replaced two defensive players and strengthened the defense. It seemed that he wanted to make the score 2-2. The score of 1 seemed to be maintained until the end.
It's different for the Hurricanes Athletic Team. Anyway, the score has been reversed, and if you don't attack, you will lose.
Therefore, Mario Binco decisively removed Lucas Villaruel and replaced him with substitute center Ivan Boglo to strengthen the offense.
As the head coach of San Lorenzo miscommunicated the signal, the home team began to retreat and shrink its defense. The visiting team Hurricane Athletic began to attack aggressively and bombarded the San Lorenzo penalty area.
The presence of the two centers allowed the Hurricanes to constantly take the ball from the wing and drop it into the penalty area, allowing the two centers to fight for the top, which put great pressure on San Lorenzo.
But at this time, San Lorenzo wanted to press forward and use offense instead of defense, but it was no longer possible. The Hurricanes Athletic Team had already gained the momentum to give it a try.
Even the central defender has pressed past the center line and pressed into San Lorenzo's half to participate in the attack. Velarde has already pressed near the top of the penalty area, ready to use the power brought by his 90-inch physique to launch heavy long-range shots. Or rush into the penalty area to fight for a high ball.
In the 71st minute, San Lorenzo got the ball and counterattacked. Before it passed the halfway line, the forward Matos who was holding the ball was unprepared and was stabbed away from behind by Velarde who was returning at high speed. .
Velarde, whose speed attribute reaches 87, even if he rushes to the frontcourt, returns to defense very quickly when losing the ball.
Matos just didn't expect Verard to return to defense so quickly. His attention was focused on the Hurricanes center back Nervo in front of him. Unexpectedly, Verard caught up from behind and stretched out his foot to stab his ball. gone.
San Lorenzo finally got the ball and counterattacked, but lost the ball again before it reached the halfway line.
Hurricane Athletics continued to attack with the ball.
Already lagging behind, the Hurricanes Athletic Team had no choice but to fight with their backs against the odds, even if their opponents counterattacked.
Fortunately, with everyone's united attack, San Lorenzo, who mistakenly contracted their formation, could not attack at all and could only be beaten passively.
Under the continuous bombardment, finally, when the time came to the 78th minute, No. 10 left midfielder Alejandro Romero played with Toranso on the left and then passed down. middle.
The ball was passed a little too high, and Avila in the front and Ivan Boglo in the middle were unable to do anything, and both went up.
But the two of them also happened to contain most of San Lorenzo's defensive players, leaving the back of the penalty area relatively empty. There was only one full-back No. 21 Mas and the full-back Leandro Romagnoli who returned to participate in the defense. .
Alan Willard, on the other hand, happened to be outside the right corner of the penalty area because of the previous pass-and-receive cooperation.
After seeing Romero pass the ball, Villard, with his 87 consciousness, immediately made a judgment: neither the players in the front or the middle of the ball can compete with the ball, and the ball will fall to the back point.
Therefore, Alan Willard, who was standing outside the right corner of the penalty area, made a prompt decision and immediately rushed diagonally towards the back of the ribs of the penalty area.
Although the landing spot was already occupied by full-back Mas, Velarde relied on his better height, physique and jumping ability to squeeze out the blocking Leandro Romagnoli and use his sprinting speed to move upwards. He jumped high, pressed Mas's body, jumped ahead of Mas and headed the ball to the back of the goal.
After completing the header, Velarde was hit on the chin by the jumping Mas, who couldn't help but scream in pain, lost his center of gravity and fell from the air.
But even when his jaw was in severe pain and he lost his center of gravity and fell down, Velarde did not close his eyes, but stared at the ball he pushed out.
Fortunately, Willard's header attribute has been increased to 87. The ball was hit very accurately. Not only did it hit the goal frame, it also went straight to the top corner of the goal.
Moreover, the distance was too close and the speed was too fast. Although goalkeeper Torico, who moved in a hurry from the middle of the goal, tried his best to save the ball, he still failed to touch the ball.
The ball flew through the gap between Torico's palm and the blind spot, and went into the goal.
Although Mas was also hit by Velarde and lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. He reached out to the referee to complain that Velarde had committed a foul. whistle.
Willard's header helped Hurricanes equalize the score 2-2.
Villard, who fell hard to the ground, suddenly couldn't feel any pain. A rush of blood rushed to his forehead. He let out an excited roar, then turned over and got up. He opened his arms and ran towards the sidelines, celebrating crazily. Behind him are teammates Avila, Boglo, Toranso, Turaza and others who are also chasing with excitement.
In the corner of the stands, Krisna, Alyssa, Bertha, Desia and others, together with thousands of Hurricanes away fans around them, jumped up from their seats in an instant, applauding, cheering and screaming excitedly , crazy about her boyfriend's ability to turn the tide.
The prospective father-in-law, Simpson Henderson, also stood up, clapped his hands vigorously, and looked at Willard with a look of appreciation.
Commentators from major TV stations in the commentary box also shouted at the top of their lungs:
"Goooooooooooooooooooal..."
"The ball went in!!!"
"Alan Willard!"
"He overpowered home team defender Mas and used a powerful diving shot to head the ball into the blind spot of San Lorenzo's goal."
"2-2!"
"Willard helped Hurricanes equalize."
"This is already Willard's fifth goal in two-line combat this season."
"This scoring efficiency is comparable to that of a top forward. But in fact, he is just a defensive midfielder. His main task is defense, and he only occasionally goes forward to participate in the attack."
"Just like that, he can score 5 goals in 10 games, averaging 0.5 goals per game. It's simply scary."
"I suddenly felt that with Velarde's scoring efficiency and defensive ability, should he join the national team and play in this year's America's Cup together?"
This is the first time that a commentator has made a proposal for Velarde to join the national team during a live broadcast, leaving his partner guests and the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV in a daze.
In everyone's subconscious mind, the Argentina team is full of talents. Generally, only players who can play in the five major European leagues can join the national team.
Velarde was still playing in the A-League last year and only played in the A-League this year, and only played a few games. No one thought about this problem. Even if Willard wants to join the national team, everyone thinks that he must at least transfer to the five major leagues to be eligible, right?
Otherwise, where do you put those Argentinian players who play in the five major leagues?
But I heard the commentator say that Willard has scored 5 goals in 10 games on both fronts this season, coupled with his strong defensive ability. Isn't such a midfielder who is good at both offense and defense exactly what the Argentina team, which has a soft style and weak forwards in major competitions, lacks?
Although most fans disagree, a small number of fans do feel that what the commentator said is reasonable. If Willard can be recruited into the national team, maybe it is a good try?
However, that is all a matter for the head coach of the national team to consider. For this game, everyone should continue to watch the Derby!
From 0-1, to 1-1, to 2-1, and now 2-2, in this derby match between San Lorenzo and Hurricanes, you can see how intense the excitement is just from the score.
Neutral fans enjoy it the most.
Of course, the game is not over yet, and there are still more than ten minutes left. Both sides will definitely not be willing to accept the result of a draw, and will definitely continue to fight and strive to kill their opponents.
The next game will definitely be more exciting.
Sure enough, when Velarde and his teammates finished celebrating and returned to their own half, and the game restarted, San Lorenzo could no longer defend and began to use the kick-off right to attack aggressively.
They originally reversed the score, but because they contracted their defense prematurely, not only did they fail to hold on, but they were equalized by the Hurricanes Athletic Team. Naturally, everyone was unhappy.
This must be a goal, regain the lead, and beat the Hurricanes Athletic Team.
The same principle applies to the visiting team Hurricanes, who took advantage of the morale boost given by Velarde's goal to equalize the score, and then went head-to-head with San Lorenzo.
The two sides started a fierce battle in the midfield, vowing to get the ball and score another goal.
In the 81st minute, San Lorenzo right midfielder Musis made a pass and hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Center Matos grabbed the first point and headed towards the goal, but after center back Eduardo Domingos' The top is high due to interference.
Four minutes later, the Hurricanes retaliated. No. 10 Alejandro Romero used his skillful personal skills to pass two people and then sent a wonderful pass. Unfortunately, center Ivan Boglo's shot angle was too right. , was saved by goalkeeper Torico.
In the 87th minute, San Lorenzo got a free kick opportunity outside the penalty area. The distance and angle were good. Midfielder Sebastian Blanco personally took the kick and kicked the ball around the wall with a curved kick. Go around to the top right corner of the goal.
Fortunately, goalkeeper Marcos Dias reacted quickly, moved one step in time and dived out. The ball narrowly missed the post and flew out of the baseline.
San Lorenzo missed a chance to score.
Two minutes later, Hurricanes Athletic also got a corner kick opportunity, and Alan Willard beat the opponent's defender to grab the first point. Unfortunately, this attack was too disrupted and failed to reach the goal frame. It missed the post and failed to kill the opponent.
As time entered stoppage time, the pace of both sides became faster and faster, both trying to score a goal before the end of the game to kill the opponent.
In the 91st minute of stoppage time, San Lorenzo No. 10 Leandro Romagnoli cut inside from the left and then passed the ball in an inverted triangle, trying to pass the ball to midfielder Sebastian Brann. Co, let him shoot.
But Velarde sensed Romagnoli's intention in advance and used his speed to quickly return to defense and insert himself between the two, intercepting the ball halfway and destroying the opponent's inverted triangle pass.
Subsequently, Velarde immediately passed the ball to full-back Mancinelli outside the penalty area, launching a quick counterattack.
Unfortunately, the Hurricanes' counterattack failed to succeed. In the end, Toranso's attempt to pass the ball through to Avila was too big, but goalkeeper Torico abandoned it in time and confiscated it.
