Napoli Torreon Squad Awaits Classification in 'League of the Americas' Semifinals
The Napoli Torreon squad will be waiting for the qualification for the semifinals in the 'League of the Americas', after losing to FOZ from Brazil and drawing against RCH from Ecuador.
In the face of an overly localistic arbitration, the Laguna team lost five goals against two to FOZ from San Lorenzo, Brazil, despite starting the match with a goal from Alejandro Martinez.
It was in the second half when the Cariocas referees did not mark a single foul in favor of the Laguna team, the regulations of these tournaments are similar to fast soccer, where the sixth foul results in a shoot out.
Two fouls were called in favor of the Brazilians and none for the Neapolitans, which started the downfall of the Laguna team, who succumbed to a very cunning team.
DRAW WITH A SOUR TASTE
Subsequently, Napoli had to win to avoid waiting for combinations, but they faced one of the strongest rivals like RCH from Ecuador, with whom they drew two goals each.
In the match, Ricardo Ceballos opened the scoring for Napoli, who minutes later missed a shoot out that could have increased the lead.
Before halftime, the Ecuadorians equalized, leaving the field heated up.
In the second half, Napoli took control of the game, creating goal chances, but the goal did not come until Édgar Villegas, who scored a fantastic long-range goal.
With three minutes left until the end, an incredible neglect from the Laguna defense caused the Ecuadorians' equalizer.
It will be this morning when the organizing committee determines Napoli's fate, as they finished tied in the group with the Brazilians and Ecuadorians.
