The good streak of the Venados FC came to an end because the horned forwards wanted it that way.
In a game in which they got tired of failing, the deer lost by the slightest difference to the Mineros de Zacatecas, on date 11 of the 2022 Opening Tournament of the Expansion League.
Painful setback for the bulls, as they had gone four games without knowing defeat. And this setback will surely make them fall a lot in the table when the statistics are adjusted at the end of date 11.
If it were deserving, without a doubt the Venados should have won. But football is about concrete results. Last night, on the field of “Carlos Iturralde Rivero”, the deer strikers came out fighting with the net. It cannot be seen in any other way.
It is true that the rival was not an expert in candy, but the horned attack was always incisive and they did not win by a landslide because the home team did not want it.
Zacatecas had only one chance in the first half, and the Venados let go of two, one of them very clear, that Félix Micolta could not sign by sending the ball out of frame, when the goal was being chanted.
And it always happens that when you attack the most, the rival takes advantage of an oversight to put the ball on goal. The Mineros did it at 63, when the Venados walked confidently in their area, but Luis Salvador Razo received a ball while being close to the spot and defined with a fine touch to the side of “Charro” Ramírez.
What followed was like seeing to believe.
In a span of 15 minutes, the Venados had at least four clear chances, but between the goalkeeper, the crossbar and the gunners’ erratic sights, the Mineros kept their nets untouchable.
Mauro Pérez almost made it a fantasy, because he managed a shot from behind and the ball crashed into the crossbar in a dramatic way. And Víctor Mañón, Sleyther Lora also failed, crashing it into the post; Gamaliel Sánchez and Ángel Luna, this finishing off point blank.
It really seemed incredible to see so much failure.
At the end, on the last play, in the sixth minute of extra time, the goalkeeper went to finish off a corner kick and “Charro” managed to head, but it went wide of the goal. Nth save of some Miners who did what gives results in football: score. Two crossbars, a post and arrivals without specifying. This is not possible.— GASPAR SILVEIRA
