  Narration and statistics
  

Sometimes it is not enough to be well advised to circumvent a trap. Bara rescued him Griezmann and Madrid calm him Brahim. But the Atlantic never found a man to hold on to and that is why he died in extra time in front of a Cultural who, borrowing his book, never stopped believing. Quite the opposite of the rojiblancos, who suffered their greatest blush since Simeone arrived. Interestingly, the Argentine landed after a cupper KO against Albacete, in the distant December 2011. Another Second B as the brave team Leon, who scribbled a page on the list of tragedies of Madrid.

The Atletico left with the intention of changing the gesture and taking for granted the tragic night in Eibar. But, without a doubt, they don't know what destiny had prepared for them. And he did it, paradoxically, without a 9 on the field. While in the club's offices they rush the hours to convince the PSG and recruit Cavani, in Len, Correa, Joao Flix and Vitolo tried to solve without problems the problems with the goal that his team is dragging this season. Maybe everything would have been different if Vitolo, shortly after starting, he would have tuned his shot in one of those remote control mailings that Joao took out of the hat.

Because those of Simeone appeared with desire, strength and intensity. As if nothing had happened in Eibar. As if the first parts of the parties had ceased to exist. And while Cultural was calmly waiting in her field, Hctor Herrera forced to show off the goalkeeper with a coiled shot that was cleared with a superb swipe. It was the best that the Mexican managed to achieve, replaced by Thomas at the break. It seemed that the Atlantic was determined to be another. It will only be a mirage.

From the rojiblancas inaccuracies, which kept Simeone in his band mad, began to grow Cultural. A team that navigates firmly in its Second B group (is second) and aspires to return as soon as possible to the silver category. In the white shirt was the tireless Sergio Benito, who will end up becoming a hero, always with sharp nails.

Each loss of the Atlantic, some almost incomprehensible, was a hint of a bugle for a Cultural shelter in its burrow of the giant's onslaught, as has been customary in the rojiblancos since Simeone arrived.

They never found a mast to grab in the storm or a battering ram that crushed any of the centers. Sal's head, coming from behind, was an urgent solution. At least, Manu Snchez, on his left flank, he returned to transmit good vibes, like the day of his premiere before Osasuna. At least, Marcos Llorente Don't stop sweeping.

Lucas Giffard stops

Before the break, in the Atlantic they already knew why no one had conquered the Kingdom of Len for 15 months. Then, also in the Cup, the Bara achieved it, already in the discount. And they even got a good suffocation when Sergio Benito, of course, heads off a corner kick. The rojiblanco heart was already at a thousand per hour. Much more when Vitolo again, again in sync with Joao Flix, threw his second face to face with the French goalkeeper Lucas Giffard, which was beginning to take the form of a superhero.

Maybe that mistake was born the first opportunity of the season for the indito Ivan Saponjic, the only athletic 9 that yesterday I played with an athletic shirt. Precisely to Saponjic, the most lanky player in the squad (1.92 meters), they were looking for their teammates in a throw-in when Correa appeared. The one who now knows the path of the goal in the Atlantic. And also Joao Flix, in his third gift of the night. And between them they made the key that opened the knockout door for a few minutes.

It was not, much less the decline of the 'Cultu'. The sunrise was more good. The lions roared loudly and sent the game to extra time, thanks to a kick of Castaeda and sustained by his stellar goalkeeper, who was repelling, one by one, the desperate sparks of Saponjic, which would have changed the course of the tragic outcome.

He could not fight the Atlantic against his fatal destiny in extra time. All hit the Cultural harder, thanks to the lethal blow of Sergio Benito, which had all the poise and the toe that the Cholo lacked. In Len clav the knee Simeone and his new project was precipitated by an unexpected precipice.
