Under Par in Paradise: Olimpia Stumbles in Lackluster Season Opener

Under Par in Paradise: Olimpia Stumbles in Lackluster Season Opener

Assumption.- Rubio Ñu, with a practical game and good standing on the court, took the three points against an Olimpia that did not know how to capitalize on the possession of the ball in goals. Celso González was the author of the only goal of the match, fifteen minutes into the first period, with a superb header after a corner taken from the right sector of the Albiverde attack.

All eyes were on the new Olimpia, which already generates a lot of expectation at the beginning of each championship. From the beginning of the match, the fringe player imposed an overwhelming game against a very good Ñuense team, which in the face of the rival’s ailments knew how to defend itself and come out quickly with a counterattack.

But the barrage of Pumpido’s team was diluting as it reached the first quarter of an hour, and it was precisely at 14 minutes that after a corner taken by the right sector of Rubio’s attack, came a tremendous header from Celso González Ferreira, unstoppable for Campestrini, in order to decree the 1 to 0.

Olimpia, hurt by the goal received, came back with fury to try to equalize the actions but the defense of Solalinde’s team, with an inspired Manzur, managed to control the offensive actions of the flanker. Olimpia at that time was a team that insisted on both the right and the left with Vargas flying and trying to overwhelm on the right and Guerreño doing the same on the left. That’s how the first half went.

Already in the complementary second leg, the Para Uno team came out with everything in search of a tie but abused the frontal balls and the centers, thus making the work of Santilli and his defense easier. Nery Pumpido took a risk and from the start of the second half sent Ivan Torres onto the field for Carlos Guerreño, but the split game did not change much.

Being the absolute dominator of the game, he lacked the forcefulness to express his superiority on the playing field, especially in possession of the ball. In the 77th minute Diego Ciz received a double warning and consequently a red card after a foul committed.

This is how the game went, with Olimpia dominating but very repetitive when it came to attacking, finding Mario Santilli always well stopped and needless to say the defense of the Ñuense team. A shock for Olimpia at the start of the Championship and a start on the right foot for a Rubio Ñu in need of points to avoid relegation.
