A Velez lights were missing in his head and on the field. From below, in an image as unusual as it is unpresentable for a First Club, were the shadows on the grass due to lack of lighting, product of the placement of a stage. And upstairs, in the minds, it lacked enough lucidity to illuminate the panorama in three rooms or the endings.
But the Fortin searched for him all night. Flashlight in hand, but he tried. And his prize for perseverance came with that header from Janson that ended up inside the grim goal… And with this victory, the V moved out of the second to last place in the table.
Janson’s goal for the win
In any case, beyond last night’s victory, the darkness on the field -on top of a field in poor condition- could well have functioned as a reflection of the gloomy current situation of Fortín in the tournament. Despite this triumph, it is the team that won the fewest in the championship: only three times. Far away was that lit team that could shine with kids that, when they got together, went into flames. To this Vélez the lamps turn on very every once in a while. This time, by candlelight, at least he recovered from the loss to Boca.
It was not enough for Cacique Medina’s team with those shots by Orellano in the second half, which were lost in the gloomy part installed in the arch that overlooked the stage. A scenario in which there was even a ball catcher… Of course, with his man more for almost 40 minutes due to the expulsion of Ríos, he deepened the initiative that he had already shown in the PT, 11 vs. 11. He took possession of the ball, went with a lot of people, opened the court, crushed with connections.
He made a couple of chances, like in that double save from Cambeses to Orellano and Castro. Banfield it was an even bigger shadow. He had two clear in the first stage, one of them with a shot by Palacios in a post. And not much else. He was too cautious, even before the straight red. He planted himself against and only in the one that ended in the post was he really aggressive. Ý got to four in a row without winning.
