| A crowd of 10000 arrived at the stadium (with a full capacity of 10000 terraces) to see Argentina Under-21 - Peru Under-21! The conditions are quite good, the temperature is great for the players and everyone expects a great match! The players of Argentina Under-21 seem to be successfully using their first-time shots ability. 3 minutes, José Luis Pozzi passes to Enzo Castiñeira, who immediately returns the pass. José Luis Pozzi dribbles his way into the box... where José Requena shows up, stopping this play showing a lot of positioning sense. The players of Peru Under-21 are able to use their long shots ability. The players of Argentina Under-21 are playing the high ball very well. They are winning almost all of the aerial plays. Argentina Under-21 seems to be changing their style even though they continue to attack. Another play at 22 minutes, Enzo Castiñeira manages to release himself from his marker, and with excellent vision drives a pass that falls beautifully for José Luis Pozzi who gets around the goalkeeper and shots from an acute angle. However the ball is cleared off the goal line by Guillermo Guerrero. Another play at 27 minutes, after a pass by Enzo Castiñeira, José Luis Pozzi gets around his marker and enters the box and shoots... The goalkeeper doesn't even move... But Christian Carty clears it off the line! Around 32 minutes, Enzo Castiñeira recovers the ball with great effort, gets around two opposition players and with a subtle pass puts the ball on José Luis Pozzi's foot but he confuses himself, allowing Christian Carty to recover the ball. Another play at 37 minutes, some great play from Argentina Under-21. Enzo Castiñeira gets the ball near the touch line, and crosses it to the edge of the penalty area where José Luis Pozzi is waiting with his foot held back for the shot... and the ball goes into the top corner!! Fantastic goal by José Luis Pozzi! The goalkeeper couldn't do anything to stop this one. The result is now 1-0. At half time the result is 1-0. The home side is keeping the ball for much longer periods of time. Peru Under-21 held the ball 18% of the time while Argentina Under-21 had 82% possession. At this moment the result is apt for what we saw in the first-half. Although with some luck the advantage could have been even larger! At 46 minutes, Peru Under-21 makes its first substitution. Paulo Palacios leaves and Erick Canales enters in his place. After 46 minutes, Jorge Flores recovers the ball with great effort, gets around two opposition players and with a subtle pass puts the ball on Jaime Ibañez's foot who hits a strong first time shot straight into the hands of Joan Bonello. He has no trouble at all in grabbing the ball there. After 48 minutes, it is the excellent vision of Enzo Castiñeira who makes a slashing pass over Peru Under-21's whole defensive line to a well positioned José Luis Pozzi... but José Luis Pozzi wastes too much time, which allows Guillermo Guerrero to close in and tackle him. 53 minutes are counted, José Luis Pozzi shows a great understanding with Enzo Castiñeira, they make a combination move all the way to the area... José Luis Pozzi still with the ball, tries to chip it over the keeper... but it goes over the bar. The goal-keeper of Argentina Under-21 is doing his job very well. His style is confusing the opposite forwards in this game. At 60 minute(s), the second substitution for Peru Under-21 is done. Juan Manuel Peña came in, replacing José Requena. The time is now 62 minutes, when Peru Under-21's players are calmly passing the ball near Argentina Under-21's box. Jorge Flores passes to Brayan de La Haza who is able to find some space. He is going to shoot... My Goodness. Brayan de La Haza must have confused the goal with the corner-flag. What a lousy shot. After 65 minutes, José Luis Pozzi shows a great understanding with Enzo Castiñeira, they make a combination move all the way to the area... José Luis Pozzi has Erick Canales ahead, he tries to dribble around him but fails to do it. Great play by Erick Canales. 69 minutes, Jaime Ibañez shows a great understanding with Jorge Flores, they make a combination move all the way to the area... Jaime Ibañez has Daniel De Leon ahead, he tries to dribble around him but fails to do it. Great play by Daniel De Leon. The marking style applied by Argentina Under-21's players is working very well today. After 72 minutes, Enzo Castiñeira makes a pass to José Luis Pozzi all the way on the other wing. He is going to make a cross... the ball instead veers towards the goal area but hits the bar and is lifted over. It was almost an unexpected goal for Argentina Under-21, but instead the ball is out for a goal kick. Around 80 minute(s), substitution for Peru Under-21. Miguel Ibarra leaves the field, and in his place Hernán Ruidíaz is set to enter. The time is now 81 minutes, when a crossed pass to the box by Enzo Castiñeira finds José Luis Pozzi clear, however Guillermo Guerrero tackles well and concedes a corner kick for Argentina Under-21! At 87 minutes, with the scoreboard marking 1-0, it is the excellent vision of Enzo Castiñeira who makes a slashing pass over Peru Under-21's whole defensive line to a well positioned José Luis Pozzi... he catches the superb pass and manages to get himself clear. Stylishly, José Luis Pozzi goes around the keeper and scores! With this goal for Argentina Under-21 the result is now 2-0. In the end of the match, Argentina Under-21 not only managed to win the match, but also raised the advantage of one goal that they had at half time. |
