People get up from their seats, but they don't leave.
He knows that Vélez was transformed into a
Knight of Anguish
, which he suffers, but ends up winning in the end.
In this way he won the last four games.
However,
Tigre experiences his rebirth.
He had been a harmless
kitten
in the first half, but he showed his claws in the snap.
He scored his first two goals in the tournament, tied it in four minutes and
with ferocity almost took the three points
.
Tomás Galván's offside in the addition almost made Gustavo Quinteros' team drink its own medicine.
Applause and a recognition that vibrated in the throats of his fans.
Deserved, of course.
In the end,
Vélez not only took advantage in the first half;
Additionally, he showed bursts of good play.
He opened it with a great goal and closed it thanks to an unforced error.
Tigre only worried for a handful of minutes.
He prowled Tomás Marchiori's area, but did not create a single risk situation.
The result, then, was in line with what was observed in the development of the opening chapter on Liniers' night.
VÉLEZ EXPANDED THE ADVANTAGE ⚪🔵

If there is something difficult to achieve in football, it is precision in speed.
And Vélez achieved it in the first goal, a play that started and ended at the feet of Francisco Pizzini.
Christian Ordoñez held on against the line, played back for Agustín Bouzat who went deep for Rodrigo Piñeiro and the Uruguayan left Pizzini in front of Matías Tagliamonte, who finished with class.
Néstor Gorosito opted for the most basic scheme, the one that most technicians appeal to in the event of an emergency, a 4-4-2 in which Martín Garay – natural winger – entered as a central midfielder and Ezequiel Forclaz – forward – open on the right as a steering wheel.
He put it against Vélez's area, to the point that Gustavo Quintero, taken to the edge of the field, shouted at his players to stretch the team, to get out of the comfort zone.

And with a hit of the ball came the second.
Pablo Adorno failed, Ordoñez assisted Braian Romero and the scorer resolved against a weak response from Tagliamonte.
And if those forty-five minutes did not end in a rout, it was due to a notable save by the visiting goalkeeper, who flew to block a header from Romero.
Then,
Quinteros made a change and dismantled the midfield.
Nicolás Garayalde entered, Piñeiro left, Bouzat left the double five and Claudio Aquino moved to the left.
All those disconcerting movements allowed Tigre to grow.
And Martín Ortega scored a great goal, projecting from the right, hooking in and finishing with a left foot that was nailed far from Marchiori's reach.
And Forclaz took advantage of a pass from Garay after an error by Garayalde.
TIGRE CUT THE STREAK WITHOUT CONVERTING WITH A TREMENDOUS GOAL ⚽🔥

Quinteros reached into the bank again.
The kids Thiago Fernández and Lenny Lobato entered.
They were revulsive.
Especially the Brazilian who burst the crossbar.
Pipo also made touch-ups.
The Paraguayan Walter Rodríguez entered and Agustín Cardozo entered the central defense.
And it was more explosive, especially on the left, where Sebastián Medina complicated Leonardo Jara.
TIGRE TIE IT IN FOUR MINUTES 🔵🔴

The Matador had two chances.
First, Marchiori blocked against Medina;
Later, Flabián Londoño tried a scissors that happened very close.
The Victoria team was encouraged.
And the match broke down, it went back and forth.
The Vélez fans went into a nervous breakdown.
And they were relieved when they noticed Medina's offside.
But they left amidst whistles.
Tigre had not scored goals in the League Cup, he reacted and perhaps it was the starting point for Gorosito's cycle, which looked terminal.
