“El Lobo” from Piedritas demonstrated once again that they are a great team. The overwhelming 4 to 0 score speaks volumes about what happened on the field.
At some point we talked about parity, balance, between each other because of what had been seen in the last two matches (a victory for each team).
None of that happened on Sunday, there was one team that vastly outperformed the other, not only in the game but also on the scoreboard.
It is true that there was a turning point, it occurred at the end of the first stage. There was a flurry of goals at forty-one and forty-three of the first half that sealed the story.
Those achievements achieved so quickly and at that stage of the game practically marked the reality, what would be the development of what remained to be played.
Absolute tranquility in Santa Rita, nerves and helplessness in Atlético.
At the beginning, all the obligations and responsibilities fell on the local team that had no margin for error, the visitor, aware of this situation, came out to play their game and ended up crowning it with a rout.
The game was coming together, good intentions in both teams, Alejandro Russo’s team had a good chance when Alegre enabled Galetto, who passed for Nicosia’s projection, but the powerful shot from the leading marker hit the outside of the network.
The local team’s urgent need to win led them to spend the match, even though it was evident that “La Academia” was not at its best in the afternoon. He had a hard time putting together associated plays.
Santa Rita cut off all the circuits, there was a good job from Schpether on the last line, very well accompanied by Vera added to the efforts of Alejo Ponzi and Verón.
In any case, Atlético was trying to reach Chapado’s goal, Galetto’s shot lacked power. Without a doubt, when Alegre had the ball, the local team made the difference. A couple of his shots were worrying, one stopped by Chapado, the other went wide.
The wolf improved its production, Gómez and Romero appeared, an interesting player, the former Barrio Norte de América striker.
Very good shot by Ponzi, Sequeira made an effort, it rebounded and Peters converted, but it was all invalidated due to the forward position of the scorer.
Later it was Gómez’s turn, but his shot went over the roof.
The local team responded with a free kick from Galetto without consequences. When it seemed like they were going into halftime tied and the equality was good due to what both teams had done.
Paulo Tabasso’s team appeared in its true dimension, with a flurry of goals in three minutes.
Peters gave it to Girón, a great cross at ground level for Romero to appear at the far post and push the ball into the net, 1 to 0.
The visitor’s attack was not going to end there, Vera had the second goal with a header, but Sequeira’s masterful slap prevented his fence from falling.
The corner came, Sequeira who hesitated, a distraction in the local background, the ball was buoyant and from the ground Vera sent it to the back of the goal, 2 to 0 and third conquest of the central scoreboard for Santa Rita in the regional tournament.
What neither team had been able to achieve in forty minutes, the Piedritas team achieved in an instant.
It was foreseeable what could happen in the complement, Atlético almost mortally wounded, with two changes to try to reverse a Sunday that was very complicated, Urchipía and Ramiro Díaz entered for Gamarra and Nicosia.
The local team overtook in search of a discount, spaces appeared, the wolf licked its lips. Ledesma’s will in the middle of the field, Patritti’s effort pushing from behind was not enough, the most talented did not come into play.
Ledesma’s good shot that tried to surprise went just wide. On the counterattack, Romero had the third visitor conquest, but he could not convert.
Chapado responded very well to Galetto’s free kick.
Peters’s lethal cross from the left brought Romero into the scene and scored the third visitor goal, the second of his personal haul, a devastating 3-0.
There were many minutes left to play, but it seemed like there were too many.
Everything was defined, Vera was injured, as always a stronghold in the defense and now also in his role as a scorer, Riscosa replaced him.
More variants in both teams for a story that was already written.
Huge save by Chapado against Ledesma’s very good right hand that was destined for the net.
The minutes were running out, but there was time for more, Gómez assisted the kid Muñoz who with a great volley ended up scoring a real goal, 4 to 0.
Atlético left worried, because the team did not live up to the circumstances, because of the defeat against them and also because the classification is increasingly further away. (You have to win the two remaining matches as a visitor and wait with what score the seconds in the other zones finish with, all very complicated)
Santa Rita with the joy of achieving the passport to the next phase, with the peace of mind that the team’s operation is very well-oiled. The ideal step of four played, four won certifies it. Also hungry for glory, to continue making history as he did in the Federation Tournament.
