The further victory over the American Seattle Sunders (3: 1) only improved the situation for “mattresses” slightly, but the same Parisians and the Brazilian botaphor were not in place in parallel. The last and the ribbon – they won both games, so in the last round, Atletico played against not Abiko, but against the full leader of Group B. and had to beat him with three balls of advantage to take the second step.
The mission is obviously not simple, but not impossible. Especially with the style that the team of Renat Manuel Alves Piva chose for this game. The botaphor played from protection and tried to make the appearance of a reliable wall in front of its own gate. But it was not always possible to do it “black and white”. However, everything for the athlete in this game could end fairly quickly if Savarino in the ten minute on the left flank of the penalty area during the first attempt of the counterattack would not be struck.
Further, Atletico had already started to squeeze the opponents in the other’s half, but the goal moments created a very limited number before the break. The best among them is Alvarez’s hit from the right corner of the goalkeeper past the far stand for 40 minutes. And, probably, another moment with the participation of the Argentine, when he fully claimed a penalty in the center of foreign possessions for the foul Gregor, if Seuralot did not contact another defender. The referee, with the help of Var with this episode, eventually figured out, but it was also not the first fall of Julian in another’s penalty area.
In the second half of the game, the desire of the botaphor to play for a raw and the result, for which the Brazilian team could win the group prevailed. Athletico, meanwhile, tried to find his moments, but the further the game came, the more obvious the fact that no three balls of advantage here and it smell.
The “mattresses” at least one goal would be a good push, for which Simeon was thrown in battle, among others, Antoine Grizmann with his goal drought from February this year, and finally this break with the ball scored. In the 87th minute, Alvarez shot a penalty from the left flank to the Frenchman, but you understand – there was no time more time. Also, in a single attack, the efforts of Zhazus could bury intrigue early and also to provide himself with the first step. But the siege saved Atletico. And PSG with him.
