With Velarde's one-two defense and the efforts of their teammates and goalkeepers, Tandil, who are just the bottom of the second division, can't do anything. Even on their home field, they have not been able to score.
On the contrary, the visiting Hurricane Athletic Team, in the first half is coming to an end, everyone thought that the two sides in the first half to each other, the Hurricane team played a tacit understanding of the teamwork, and finally by Gonzano Martinez a good pass to tear apart the Tandil defense, shadow striker Espinoza slanting into the penalty box, in the penalty area from the goal of the about 8 meters from the foot, from a distance of the point to shoot a shot to break through the goal, the Hurricane Athletic Team opened the first record to obtain the 1-0 lead away from the game. Athletics opened the scoring and took a 1-0 lead on the road.
Suddenly breaking the deadlock and scoring near the end of the first half, not only Espinoza, who scored, but also the rest of the team, even the coaches and substitutes on the sidelines, the Hurricanes Athletics fans in the stands and in front of the TV, were quite surprised and celebrated a lot.
As for Tandil, who conceded the goal, he was naturally quite depressed.
But there was no time for them to equalize in the first half either, as the teams went into the break with a 0-1 scoreline, with visiting Hurricane Athletic temporarily leading by a goal.
After a 15-minute break, the teams changed sides for the second half, with both teams making no substitutions for the time being and continuing the confrontation with their original teams.
After all, this was Tandil's home field, and they hadn't gotten even one win since the start of the new season, so the players and coaches were under a lot of pressure. Now the game was 0-1 down again, making the Tandil players very impatient and increasing their offense in the second half.
At the same time, the fouls were ramped up.
The South American stadium, itself, is not very formal, even the first division has changed around, let alone the second division, even more chaotic. Coupled with the fact that everyone in the second division players generally have poorer skills, there are more body blows.
Thus, Tandil, who had begun to rampage, made Velarde feel frequent body punches.
But as mentioned, Villard didn't back down at all. Even though he knew that the frequent body punches could potentially injure him, he couldn't back down. Once you backed down, you would be seen by your opponent as being afraid, and would instead intensify your onslaught.
It must establish the image of a beastly, tough guy who can't be seen as a soft touch.
In the 57th minute, Tandil got the ball in the back of the net and took a big clearance straight to the center of the field.
Velarde and Tandem center Vilchez sprinted together toward where the puck had landed, neither flinching and jumping together, the two of them headbutting hard in the air before falling to the ground together, clutching their heads and crying out in pain.
The referee ended up with a board for each side, neither receiving a card, but both receiving a warning from the referee.
But the two have not shown an ounce of remorse.
Just when Vilchez was thinking about how to get back at Villard, Villard had already made a move ahead of him.
In the 64th minute, the Tandems worked around the Velarde defense with a team pass and cut and pushed the attack to the right side of the front of the box just as center forward Vilchez got to the ball.
He looked up in the direction of the goal, stood on his left foot, swung his right foot up, and was about to take a powerful long-distance shot.
As it turned out, the returning Velarde made a vicious dive from the side and back to break up the ball and bring Vilchez down to the ground in the process of his dive and slide.
After having a long range chance spoiled and also being brought down with the ball by Villard, Vilchez felt quite humiliated and got up to indicate to the referee that it was a foul by Villard.
As it turned out, the referee thought it was a good shot and didn't call a foul on Villard.
Vilchez was quite disgruntled but could do nothing about the referee, and he didn't dare to provoke the referee, so he went toe-to-toe with Velarde for the rest of the game, and started to find Velarde one-on-one in a row in an attempt to break through Velarde, or piss Velarde off so that Velarde fouled him to get a free kick opportunity upfield.
Velarde, however, showed considerable poise and was again unafraid of Vilchez's rushes, and the two sides produced three consecutive direct confrontations over the next ten minutes or so. However, all three of these direct one-on-one confrontations ended in Velarde's favor. At the A.B. level, Velarde's current awareness, physique, and defensive skills were basically unbeatable in single combat.
During a late one-two in the 78th minute, when Vilchez was stuck in a position by Velarde for a sudden uptempo tackle, poked the ball away from his feet and stumbled as Velarde tripped him, Vilchez burst into an emotional outburst, turned around and cursed and pushed Velarde in the chest.
Having been unable to break Velarde, and his team having been behind on the scoreboard and failing to equalize, Vilchez was a bit emotionally unstable, and with the intention of trying to piss Velarde off and get Velarde down.
This time, Velarde was quite calm, and instead of grabbing Vilchez's hand for an over-the-shoulder slam, he fell backward at the first exaggerated moment, shouting "What are you doing?" and then fell to the ground.
It just so happened that the ball was both still at Vilchez's feet a moment ago and the referee's attention was on both men, and coupled with Velarde's shove and Velarde's falling on his back with his hands, the referee had no hesitation in running over to show Vilchez a yellow card and warning him to watch his actions.
Vilchez got more than he bargained for, cried, and got a hard look of contempt from Velarde as he got up.
A defiant Vilchez tried to continue to play one on one with Velarde, but his teammates had already seen that he couldn't get past Velarde and that it would be a waste of possession and a waste of chances for him to play one on one with Velarde again, so they stopped passing the ball to him and attacked in the other direction to try and score a goal.
But Hurricanes Athletic's other teammates besides Velarde weren't bad at all. Even Federico Bismara, who was a guest center back, did quite well, working with his two center back teammates, and with Villard's return, basically taking care of any missed balls through the midfield.
As a result, Tandil failed to score much in the second half, even hitting a shot within the goal box only once, and it was easily confiscated by goalkeeper Marcos Diaz.
The commentators commented:
"Tandil might lose again."
"Even though it's Tandil's home ground, it's still a thousand times harder for them to get a goal, with one winless game so far."
"Back Alan Villard, in particular, did a pretty good job of defending against Tandil, who had a hard time getting through his zone."
"Vischese has tried to go one-on-one with Velarde on several occasions and has ended up not only being shanked over by Velarde, but also being shown a yellow card and not making a bit of headway."
"With so little time left on the clock now, and with Velarde on the pitch and the experienced Federico Bismara and Mancinelli checking in behind him, it's almost impossible for Tandil to score."
