The blue and gold team left the changing rooms at a thousand an hour, stimulated by their boisterous publicwhat was said in the preview and the vivid memory of Promotion 2021 against the rival on duty (which culminated in his relegation to Intermediate).
And Ameliano bet to see what the host could do. She gave him the ball and made him uncomfortable by playing with the nerves of the match.
But, in the twinkling of an eye, Ameliano stepped on the accelerator, took over the process and managed to break the zero with a crossed ball that Elias Sarquis connected with the entire arc in his favor.
Great definition of Elías Sarquis, who put Ameliano’s team in front ⚡️⚽️

The goal of the Blue V it only added to the pressure on the homeowners. The public made itself felt and transferred all its impotence to the players, who drowned in a sea of inconsistent situations.
Things were already difficult and it was uphill for Chanchón with the expulsion -for a double yellow card- of its captain, Pablo Aguilar. Luqueño was left with 10 on the field and without strength in the background.
Balls, inaccuracies and physical play; it was the constant until well into the complementary one.
the negative note had to do with the very hard injury of Elvio Vera, who suffered a strong blow to the elbow. Ameliano will surely miss him.
