Elche refuses to sign his death certificate. Today’s point is of little use, but Pablo Machin’s men expressed the spirit of Valladolid to the last breath and found the jackpot in the 96th minute. It was Tete Morente, now with the whole team upside down, who tore a point away from them. de Pacheta, who returned to his house, and who left at the last moment, leaves them again in the mire of perpetual struggle.
On a hot afternoon in Elche (with the thermometer reaching 30 degrees), Valladolid poured a pitcher of cold water all over Martínez Valero starting shortly after. It was Cyle Larin, the help of the winter white-purple touched by the stick that Lucas Olaza sent into the net. He almost hit the ball to him who also found the “help” of Enzo Roco, who deflected it just enough to fool Badia.
Thus appeased the spirits of the place, in search of a miracle never seen before. Of course, in the second emigration at 0-1 Fidel Asenjo scored the first attempt and the future restart stage. From that time, the game, which had begun to revolve high in the sky, descended into the mud, to the swampy places, where the troops of Pacheta waited for an opportunity to attack, while the squad of Machin, doubtful and hasty, were scarcely disturbed.
Minutes passed and Asenjo intervened again, in one of those ‘you have to stop anything’, a venomous free kick from Mascarell. Not even Boyé, who tried endlessly, could create a real threat to Valladolid’s goal. And so he had rested for a while before another chance for Larini that only appears on special occasions: when you have a plug in it. At this time he was well controlled, not surprisingly, by the assistance of Argento, who had left him alone against Edgar.
The maddening trumpet call and the end
Passing through the various rooms of Valladolid, well-suited, he entered a different air more relaxed, looking at his superiors and playing with the timidity of Elche, typical of those who risk their lives from day to day. They handled the media perfectly. Aguado and Hongla supported their team in attack and defense … until the carousel of changes began and the trumpet calls Pablo Machín.
Halfway through the second act, the local coach put everything he had on the bench on the green. Gunpowder and more gunpowder looking for a bond … but the primary one was the one who was already on the field: Lucas Boyé. No one will be able to criticize Argentina for anything, because the island has sometimes been tested in every way. His most famous one was when Asenjo did not have to face Tete Morente’s shot in the last 15 minutes of the fight. A little later, it would be Raúl Guti who tried the former Villarreal goalkeeper, inspired today.
But the game, which had been mostly flat, left us delirious with one final act. Put us in orbit: the referee added 9 minutes (start). In them, Elche logically turned the goal to Asenjo and broke Machís in one of the counters when he stood alone against Edgar Badía.
Packets of change already exhausted, Valladolid 10… and then came the goal of Elche. A good cross from Lautaro was not cleared well by the defense and Tete Morente used it with some luck to pull off the ruck. It was 96… but it was more. In a flash, Díaz de Mera, with the clock ticking 100, released Roque Mosa (who kicked Ponce in the stomach) and Hongla (who first moved the ball and then the referee applauded) with a double yellow card. two acts of the boy who left the team with 8 men in two minutes. Fortunately, they did not have to regret more losses in this match that leaves the Castilian team without two key pieces for what is to come. And what comes today are the finals like today.
