The game began with the tricolors handling the ball and counting on the speed and power of Christian Ebere as a locus of downloading to project themselves into the attack.
Pintado’s moves on the side, in addition to the goodness of Luciano González in the midfield zone, helped the whites predominate, and the Nigerian even scored a goal but it was disallowed for being offside.
Rodrigo Martínez slowly began to take the reins of the actions and from the left generate football and possibilities, to the point that the opening came from his feet. An overflow and cross into the area at 31′ fell in the area, an Arachán defender took a shot towards the middle and Agustín dos Santos connected it first for the deserved 1-0.
Martínez himself with a distant shot and a one-on-one from Dos Santos who wanted to hit the ball but Pedro González guessed his intention to serve, they prevented the second goal from arriving. Minimum advantage and rest.
The tie
For the complement, the Melenses came out with a different attitude on the field, advancing lines and being more offensive, which bothered their rival who was no longer comfortable.
A run by Viera beating Pintado’s back ended in a shot that demanded Suárez. In the reply, another run by Martínez that put it in the middle, ended with the goalkeeper serving and Federico Bais with the goal at his disposal missed it.
The tie came fairly at 59′, now the one who went from the right was Sebastián Assis, he placed the pass behind that could not be defined by the middle Tiziano Correa, but Mateo Monserrat did go further back to make it 1-1.
At that point Verón Lupi was tired, De los Santos was not heavy and Ebere was no longer in contact with the ball as much, so Viera decided to take them off in the 69th minute.
The variations did not stop happening and after 75′ it was the interior team that warned again with a strong shot from Tiziano Correa, with a great performance in the complement. The response came with a foot strike from Montaos who demanded that Pedro González respond.
There, with two teams exhausted, some interesting spaces began to appear but both lacked the effectiveness to break the 1-1 tie that ended the match and forced a penalty shootout.
The most accurate
In the round of five, the two teams could not convert and went to the one and one modality to define which of the two would advance to the semifinals of the AUF League Cup.
And the balance tipped for Nacional, with Suárez as a figure after blocking two shots, and in the decisive one taking advantage of the fact that Añasco burst the crossbar for the final 5-4. Now wait for Progress or Youth.
