93rd minute of the game. Deportes Rengo was falling and with everything he tried to at least save the tie. Matías Recabal, who had entered four minutes before the end of regulation time, captured a ball in visiting territory, advanced and took a tight shot that left Cristóbal Campos with no option. It was 1-1, but there was still a game left.
Up to that point, the point was good, but if there were seconds ahead, the three points were still available. And that’s how Recabal, the figure on the field, understood it, who took advantage of a free throw 20 meters from the goal and, with personality, took the ball, adjusted it, waited for the order from judge Juan Comas, and took a perfect shot. Great goal for the gold and sky and celebration with the faithful fans who traveled to La Pintana.
Rengo, who had not won for a couple of dates, defeated San Antonio Unidos and took three gold points. The match itself was complex, because the rival opened the scoring. After a clearance from Ramón Fernández, Diego Cuellar made it 1-0 in the 39th minute and from there everything was uphill for Rengo who, with football and determination, knew how to turn it around.
What’s more, in this match, the Timón and the Seagull team ended up with 9 elements, since forward Rodrigo Gattas (76′) and Marcel Cortez (90’+6′) were sent off.
In the end, he is happy because he once again deducts points from the leaders and with 8 units he remains in the middle of the table. On date 6, meanwhile, they will receive Lautaro de Buin at the Guillermo Guzmán Díaz municipal stadium (3 p.m.).
REACTIONS
“In the goal (1-0) I think we had the peace of mind to reverse the situation. We tied in the middle of the court so that the opponent couldn’t play, we tried to get them to skip half of the court and they did. The team gave their all, we overcame the disadvantage, we took risks and all that remains is to congratulate the team,” commented Martín Garnero after the match.
The renguino DT also said that “the plan went quite well, today it worked. On other occasions we do the same thing and it doesn’t work.”
Likewise, he expressed that “we knew that San Antonio has a great squad, with replacement players and experience, and we had to see a way to equip it, and we did.”
Finally, regarding the upcoming match, he expressed that “we have another final, against a team that is coming off a defeat.”
For his part, the figure, Matías Recabal, commented regarding the incident that “I entered for a short time and the important thing is to contribute. It is an important emotional blow, to come in, contribute with two goals and take the three points for Rengo.” (PHOTOS: Matías Gálvez).
