At the Aomi Urban Sports Park, Argentina’s national team for the blind, better known as the Murcielagos, fell one step away from glory when they fell 1-0 in the final against Brazil, their classic rival. The goal of the match was the work of Raimundo Mendes.
With this result, the Albiceleste team was awarded the silver medal, the ninth for the national delegation at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
Although those led by Martín Demote warned at the beginning of the game with a shot from medium distance, the first half went to Verdeamarela, who had the best situations. With 15 minutes to go, Tiago da Silva spun, eluded three opponents and his cross shot crashed into the post. A few seconds later, Ricardo Alves tried an attempt that was barely deflected.
Thiago da Silva also had another very clear before the first cut. His run appeared to be lethal, but Federico Accardi miraculously appeared to sweep and send the ball to the corner.
In addition, after a few minutes of study, Braian Pereyra was in front of the rival goal after a corner kick, but a faulty reception caused the play to be diluted without being able to kick.
In the absence of 7 minutes, the scoreboard was broken by a real goal from Raimundo Mendes, who after leaving two opponents on the road to pure dribbling dislodged Darío Lencina with a violent shot.
La Albiceleste was able to level the game after a quick serve that led to a punch from Maximiliano Espinillo, but was met with a good intervention from Luan Goncalves. Already in the end, again Thiago Lencina, one of the figures of the final, was able to settle the lawsuit, but the national goalkeeper sent the ball to the corner.
