Beaten and see you later, Santos says goodbye to Clausura 2024

Without any major news, the Guerreros said goodbye to Clausura 2024, after being beaten 0-3 last night by Atlético de San Luis at the Corona Stadium itself, on the last day of the regular campaign.

The game against the Potosinos was a true reflection of what happened throughout the tournament and although the change at the helm with Nacho Ambriz was exciting for a moment, the reinforcements did not end up coming together, with a team full of young people, who did not They withstood the high demands, especially in the final stretch.

The Laguneros achieved just three wins at home, in exchange for four losses and a draw. They scored just 8 goals against their fans, the lowest score for a home team throughout the championship.

The setback left the Laguneros led by Nacho Ambriz with 15 points, in fifteenth place in the general table, while the San Luis residents climbed to step 13 by reaching 16 points.

BROKEN

Things looked bad for the locals from the 10th minute, when goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo had to work hard, saving a ball, which was then counter-shot, so that it hit the post and then Cervantes with a timely sweep, avoided the first goal Potosino.

A minute later, the Brazilian Yan Philipe Oliveira warned, but the ball went over the Santista goal, for whom the youth Emanuel Echeverría responded in the 12th minute, but his left foot shot went wide.

It was in the 17th minute, when the scoreboards were inaugurated, since after a series of rebounds and a joint sweep by Bruno Amione and Echeverría on Benjamín Galdames, with Acevedo included, the ball was left at the mercy of the Brazilian Yan Philipe Oliveira, who was only responsible for pushing it to the back of the net.

Those from the Comarca immediately wanted to react, but were controlled by the visiting defenders, without being able to do any damage. Atlético de San Luis scored the second at 29′, with a great goal from Ivorian Bi Franck Boli.

Oliveira took a shot on the edge of the area that crashed into Amione, so that the African would not let it fall and half control it, and then catch it with air and left foot, nesting it in the corner, leaving “The Guardian” unable.

In the 35th minute, Diego Medina swept the Spaniard Unai Bilbao out of his area, so Jordan Carrillo took the ball and immediately scored. The whistler Iván Antonio López scored a goal, but was called by the VAR to review the play with the help of several repetitions, reversing his original decision and appropriately annulling the green and white goal.

For the complement, Ambriz put “Polito” Holguín in the goal, instead of Captain Acevedo, as well as Luis “Ruso” Vega from Matamoros. As the minutes passed, Ambriz brought on Govea and Oceja, while in the 74th minute, 19-year-old Guillermo Muñoz made his debut.

But the third and final score for the visitors fell at 55′, in the collection of an excellent free kick, courtesy of Frenchman Sebastien Luc Salles-lamonge, in which the substitute goalkeeper could do nothing.

Everywhere the Warriors sought to shorten the distance in the cards, but the 16,442 attendees who gathered, many of them participants in the XII Santos Peñoles International Cup, realized the offensive shortcomings of the Laguneros.

With 10 minutes left, Stephano Carrillo scored the goal of honor, but it was immediately annulled fairly, by assistant Jessica Fernanda Morales, due to an advanced position by the native of Peñón Blanco and registered in Cuencamé.

The final whistle came and more than boos or recriminations from the fans, the feeling was one of resignation in the face of poor results, with a squad limited in terms of absences due to injury, off-field issues, loss of play and performance, as well as lack of adaptation of reinforcements.

This afternoon, both Ambriz and the club’s executive president, Dante Elizalde, will talk about the closing of the tournament and the planning of the next one, in addition to the transfer list and the casualties they will have for the Apertura 2024, such as the case of Colombian Harold Preciado and the Peruvian Pedro Aquino, who would be playing in the MLS with a team from Texas.
