Atlante and Puebla Draw in Mexican League

May 5, 2008 | Author: Roberto | Filed under: World Football

On the fourth day of May in the year 2008, Puebla played against Atlante in Puebla, Mexico. The game was transmitted live from the city by the International Station called Azteca America. The game went from predictable to the unpredictable.

First Half

The First Half was nothing unusual as both teams competed for possession of the ball and the game. There was a loss of patience among the members of the Puebla and Atlante Team as well as the general public who were looking for immediate results. The only exception to the rule was the first goal of the game on the basis of a penalty at forty five minutes and almost at the end of the game. The author of the goal was Olivera. The first half ended with Puebla leading Atlante one to zero.

Second Half

The Second Half was more exciting than the first half with Puebla enjoying a one point lead and possession of the ball and game with Atlante attempting to equalize without success. Puebla increased its lead from one to zero to two to zero with a second goal by Campora at sixty two minutes into the game. Atlante was starting to feel the pressure and decided to fight on instead of give in. When all seemed to be lost, Christian Bermudez surprised Atlante, Puebla, and the public at large by scoring the first goal of the game for Atlante within eighty minutes of the game. The first goal by Atlante was followed by a second goal by Giancarlo Maldonado at eighty three minutes [using the thoracic cavity or chest in order to score] which equalized the game. The equalizer left Puebla emotionally scarred as they were unable to recuperate and just played the last seven minutes to get the game over with. In the end, it turned out to be a draw.

Overall

Puebla and Atlante were able to play a game that thrilled, surprised, and entertained at the same time. Atlante deserves praise for overcoming all of the odds and being able to bring the game to a draw. Puebla on the other hand were overconfident and made many mistakes that were to help Atlante.
