In the stadium, looking at the River Plate team who rushed to the sidelines and gathered together to celebrate wildly, the Hurricanes players looked dull, with expressions of disbelief, despair and other emotions on their faces.
Conceding the goal at this time is indeed quite disappointing.
The commentators also exclaimed:
"The total score is 3-3, River Plate has the advantage of away goals."
"If the game ends with this score, River Plate will eliminate Hurricanes Athletic with the advantage of more away goals and advance to the semi-finals."
"And now, there are only minutes left until the end of the game."
"If Hurricanes can't score again, then River Plate's goal will be the winner."
"The biggest credit for this goal belongs to Moura. After receiving the ball in the penalty area, he did not rush to hit the goal. Instead, he knocked the ball with his heel and passed it to Carlos Sanchez who came in from the back row."
"This ball was passed so wonderfully, and it completely exceeded everyone's expectations on the Hurricanes team. No one expected that Mora would make such a genius backheel pass."
"There are only a few minutes left, it depends on whether the Hurricanes Athletic Team can survive the desperate situation!"
At this moment, Alan Velarde, who was standing in the penalty area, walked to Marcos Dias, who fell to the ground but did not catch the ball. He pulled him up and said: "Get up and continue playing. !”
Then, he pushed his teammates in the penalty area out of the penalty area one by one, and shouted: "Cheer up, the game is not over yet, we still have a chance."
But Willard's encouragement didn't seem to have much effect. The teammates just walked out like zombies, preparing for the game, but psychologically they didn't think they could really score.
Seeing this, Villard simply walked all the way to the center circle, preparing to kick off with Avila, and pushed Toranso out of the center circle who was about to kick off, then turned his head and shouted to his teammates in the half court: "There are still a few minutes left. I will play center. Everyone will give me a high ball and I will fight for the top."
Seeing Velarde's desperate move, Mancinelli, the official captain of the Hurricanes, also clapped his hands and shouted to everyone: "Everyone cheer up and fight to the death. As long as we score one goal, we can reverse it. As long as We still have a chance before the game is over. Everyone listens to Velarde, and when you get the ball, hit the ball high and let Velarde fight for the top."
Encouraged by the captains Velarde and Mancinelli, as well as Velarde's plan to personally play as a center forward and fight for the top in the penalty area, the teammates finally gathered some energy and prepared to make the final effort. .
However, the River Plate team's celebration had lasted for more than half a minute at this time, but it was not over yet. It was suspected that they were using the goal celebration to delay time. Therefore, Willard protested to the referee again, and then the referee stepped forward to stop the River Plate team's celebration, called them back, and continued the game.
After the River Plate players were in position, Velard kicked the ball to Avila and then ran towards the River Plate penalty area.
Avila passed the ball back to Toranso, and then followed Velard into the River Plate half.
Seeing the tall and powerful Velarde and the amazingly built Avila forming a double center, the River Plate team was also very nervous. They immediately guarded the two closely. Midfielder Kranevit followed Velarde and greeted him. Teammates are always paying attention to help defend and keep an eye on Velarde.
But Velarde does not have a fixed position, but uses his flexibility and speed to constantly change directions and speeds to affect the opponent's defense.
It was during this process that when the fourth official raised the time card for 3 minutes of injury time, the full-back Balbi, who was taking the ball on the wing of the midfield, saw that Willard had run near the penalty area line, so Immediately with a big kick, he drove the ball towards the River Plate penalty area.
This big foot opened well and was just within the range of Willard's top challenge.
Although the River Plate team also had center backs Mori, Maidana, and midfielder Kranevitt rushing towards the landing point at the same time, Velarde still rushed into the penalty area, leaping high with his speed and bounce, and beat the center back Mori grabbed the first point with his head and headed towards the goal.
Unfortunately, Willard was affected by Mori's body collision and the accuracy of his header was affected. In the end, the ball missed the post slightly and failed to score.
The commentators exclaimed:
"Pity!"
"Villade had good jumping ability and successfully grabbed the first point, but under the influence of Mori, his head-flop attack failed to swing the ball within the goal frame, and finally missed the post slightly."
"However, we can see from this ball that Velarde, who plays the role of center forward based on his position, has performed well and is capable of attacking in the opponent's penalty area."
"If the Hurricanes keep attacking in the air, there's no telling whether Willard can get a header!"
Indeed, seeing that Willard still grabbed the first point and formed a header despite being double-teamed by three opposing defenders, the players of the Hurricane Athletic Team were morale-boosted and began to play high balls desperately, allowing Wei to score. Ladd and Avila go for the top.
At 91 minutes and 12 seconds, Alejandro Romero made a pass from the left. Unfortunately, the ball went high. Velard tried his best to take off but failed to hit the ball. Avila was also hit at the back point. The opponent got stuck and missed the ball, failing to touch it.
At 91 minutes and 48 seconds, River Plate got the ball and almost launched a quick counterattack, but Federico Bismara, who risked a red card instead of counterattacking with the ball, scooped it out with the ball by River Plate forward Moura. sideline.
Fortunately, the referee spared Bismara and did not directly give a red card, but only a yellow card.
However, River Plate wasted some time in taking advantage of the possession of the ball. It was not until 92 minutes and 51 seconds before Atletico Hurricanes managed a flying tackle by Mancinelli at the risk of a foul and scooped the ball from the feet of winger Rojas.
Fortunately, Mancinelli tackled the ball first, and Rojas, fearing injury, did not touch the porcelain, but jumped over Mancinelli.
Therefore, the referee signaled that the game should continue. After Mancinelli got up from the ground, he turned around and grabbed the ball before Rojas landed. He immediately kicked the ball and sent the ball to the foot of the wide midfielder Turaza in the gap.
Seeing their teammates get the ball, Velarde, Avila, Toranso, etc. all rushed towards the River Plate penalty area.
The River Plate team also knew that the Hurricanes were likely to continue to pass the ball high, and immediately retreated to the penalty area like a tide, preparing to compete with Velarde and others.
At this moment, the referee raised his hand to look at his watch, then put the whistle into his mouth, ready to blow the final whistle.
From Mancinelli's tackle, getting up, passing the ball, to passing to Turaza, Turaza received the ball, turned around, and adjusted. In fact, the game time was approaching the 93rd minute.
Therefore, the referee is indeed ready to blow the final whistle.
But at this moment, Turaza looked up at River Plate's penalty area, used all his strength on the center line, and kicked the ball into River Plate's penalty area with a big foot.
Seeing Tulasa kicking the ball and passing the ball, the referee who had already put the whistle in his mouth paused and did not blow the final whistle immediately. Instead, he was ready to wait until the Hurricane Athletic Team's attack was completed.
Regardless of whether the goal is scored or not, the referee is ready to blow the final whistle directly. Whether it was a corner kick or a goal kick, he would not give either side any more time to play.
Therefore, this attack of the Hurricane Athletic Team is a real countdown attack.
