THE FIRST FALLS
But the neglect of Eduardo Fentanes’ team began. At 6′, “Dedos” López lost a ball in full swing to the right, for the long-haired to arrive through that sector, sending a cross that Dória rejected with his head, the ball might not be cleared by Aldo López, who got tangled up with Iván López, and Víctor Dávila took a powerful shot that defeated Carlos Acevedo’s set. The Guerreros sought to react to the best defense in the championship. When Preciado, Brunetta and Correa teamed up, there was a sense of danger, but they failed to stand up once morest the goalkeeper Cota.
Instead, the Guanajuatenses sought to take advantage of the spaces left by the visitors, so that they had a greater arrival, but they found the figure of “El Guardian” Acevedo.
But the second goal of the Fiera arrived. It came at 26′, a cross passed from the left by Nicolás Larcamón’s team, which reached Iván Moreno, who put out a tremendous shot at the first post, who overcame the jump of Hugo Isaac Rodríguez who was in that place and the set of Acevedo who made the tour.
EVERYTHING IS COMPLICATED
The Santos nightmare continued a couple of minutes later, when Rodríguez wanted to delay Acevedo’s ball, but he was deficient in the pass, so Di Yorio looked for the ball and won the sprint from Hugo Isaac, who had no other choice. to knock him down, so the whistling Adonai Escobedo expelled him.
With a couple of goals behind and with a man less, the Verdiblancos were able to discount, but Brunetta sent her left-footed shot to the side before Cota left, following receiving a great ball from Correa, from a pass from Preciado who had recovered the gajos in half court.
Already at 43′, the Esmeraldas scored the third. They arrived from the right sector, Ángel Mena took a shot that was rejected by Dória, leaving the ball for Dávila, who pulled the trigger, but the ball was deflected by Omar Campos, changing Acevedo’s trajectory so that he entered the bottom of the piolas.
“El Guardián” avoided with great hauls a couple of more goals once morest. First, in a shot from Mena and then a one-on-one with Di Yorio, who escaped from the mark of Félix Torres, who entered the replacement defense to replace the sacrificed Diego Medina.
SLIGHT REACTION
For the complement, Fentanes made more modifications, bringing in “Choco” Manzanares to play with a line of 5, in addition to “Saltita” and Jair González, to reinforce the midfield.
The result was notorious, since despite playing with 10 men, they began to reach the enemy goal with a presence. At 58′, Lucas González filtered a great service from behind the center circle to Preciado, so that the Colombian, following controlling, coldly defined before the departure of Cota, to discount on the scoreboard. The assistant Enrique Bustos marked offside, but the VAR corrected it.
But the Guerreros were quickly cooled off when at 64′, the Panzas Verdes took a short corner kick, to later send a cross, Fidel Ambriz anticipating the mark and defeating Acevedo with a solid hammer blow.
In the final stretch, Santiago Muñóz entered to play as midfielder, but isolated and with a numerical disadvantage once morest the Guanajuatenses, it was difficult to step into the enemy area and generate danger.
In the break for the FIFA Date, Santos Laguna without their teams, will hold a friendly duel once morest the Águilas del América in Los Angeles, California.
‘BRAVE MATCH’
At the end of the match, Eduardo Fentanes gave his impressions of the match: “We planned a brave game, as this coaching staff usually does; at the beginning we had very clear opportunities, it’s a bit of the story that has been happening to us throughout the tournament, this inability to take advantage of those, which can provoke you for a moment, and then this defensive weakness that has been costing us too much work and is costing us points”.
“The team in the second part shows sporting shame, cuts back and ends up being an obviously negative result, it was not what we expected.”
Santos Laguna paid dearly for its mistakes and fell yesterday 4-1 once morest León, in a duel on the 12th.
