“I was confident in the definition, I knew that a penalty was going to save. There were two and they served to win the tournament and, now, go for everything”.
The Liniers players made a human bouquet to embrace the hero in the definition from the twelve steps, the goalkeeper Valentino Torres. His feet -because with them he saved the two penalties of the series- served to award the Clausura tournament to “Chivo”, extend the definition to two other finals -to establish the annual champion- and confess that they are going for everything …
Undoubtedly, the group of “Chapi” Araneta ends with the spirit through the clouds in the one-on-one that was established with Tiro Federal. He won the playoff final and today, again, deprived him of closing the year embraced by glory.
Although the game did not leave very pleasant feelings in terms of play and development, Liniers was the one who proposed the most in the 90 minutes. Already in the supplementary everything was matched and the goals arrived, but the feeling that was hanging around in the environment is that the albinegro arrives with more rest.
away from the arches
The first half passed without pain or glory. 45 minutes where the game got stuck in the middle zone and where the forwards of both teams suffered withdrawal, because the ball practically did not reach them.
Three shots on the mid-distance goal by Liniers were the most salvageable in a period where the most salient were the three yellow cards (Restiffo and Mancinelli, on the Tirense side, and Facundo Gutiérrez on the albinegro side) by referee Juan Nebbietti .
In the plugin, Liniers took the lead on the field and had a couple of clear chances that were not a miracle goal. Trídico provided quality to come out with clean balls, Onorio found his place, turned left and Simón Biondo imposed his physical strength to win the splits.
Tiro was able to counteract with the wisdom of his two central defenders (Mancinelli and Walter), but before 10 minutes he lost the first due to injury -blow to the lower back-, which forced the entry of Facundo Gutiérrez- and he no longer had the same efficiency in the background.
At 15, Walter stopped Joaquín Parra’s career with a clear penalty for grabbing that Nebbietti decided to omit, despite the fact that the assistant judge (Walter Castaño) pointed it out with the flag raised.
Parra managed to throw the center, the ball was left in front of Francsico Callava, who ran into the reflexes of Bruno Arias. The “1”, with his feet, aborted what was a safe fall.
At 20, the one who missed it entering only from the left was Parra, who rushed the shot and had no aim to hit the goal.
And at 32, Onorio received from Biondo on the right and hit a cross at the far post to leave Mc Coubrey facing the goal. The “9”, incredibly, sent it up in his attempt to shoot the goalkeeper.
Liniers endured the 90 minutes with the same starting eleven, while Tiro had four variations, two of them due to injury, given that Cristian LLanos was also touched.
goals and suspense
The additional 30 minutes -15 for each half- were some of the best in the game.
The “Goat” introduced two variants -Ullmann for Cavalla and Coronel for Parra-, while Rosell already had Diego Damiani, Stefano Merigo and Manuel Adaro on the court, with one more window that was taken advantage of with Carlos Manuel Coronel.
Liniers struck first -2 minutes into the second overtime- with a beautiful header from Boris Herrera on a stopped ball that fell pumped to the far post, surprising the static Aurivioleta background.
But the reaction was not long in coming and Tiro managed to equalize with a kick from another match by Adaro from Pampas that surprised goalkeeper Valentino Torres.
A few minutes before the end, Santiago López appeared at the net to make the Aurivioleta side explode with joy, but Nebietti reversed the action saying that he had charged a previous infraction.
“First there was a foul by Trídico on López and then a foul by López on Trídico. The play continued and López scored, but I had already whistled the first action,” the judge justified himself at the end of the game.
