PSV force penalties at the Calderon (0-0), but the failure of Narsingh condemns Cocu and ranks the Rojiblancos quarter.
He had flirted Simeone during the week with an offensive approach, with an ambitious 4-3-3 in search of a savior goal. A whole smokescreen, unloving Argentine concessions to the stands. Athletic is all heart your all attitude, but not a team that is released like crazy to the goal, despite the 0-0 first-leg invite it.
PSV knew what to do with the ball at all times
Atletico gave the ball to PSV, perhaps relying on the little ability with the ball Cocu and steal many balls in the building to create danger. Nothing is further from reality. The Dutch team grew at the Calderon as a stream in the middle of a storm. Comfortable with the ball, knew what to do with it at all times. It was a tactical clash, full of details, such as individual labels which ordered Coke.
As happened in Eindhoven, Griezmann could change the sign of the party, but his aim in Europe is becoming worrying. Just completed the quarter hour, Zoe he pulled a ball from goal, once that at this point in the film can not fail. Thereafter, he appeared the best version of PSV, full of confidence with the recovery of De Jong reference. Locadia appeared everywhere and Willems raged on the left side. Atletico central salary in each of its centers earned. Juanfran was dismasted. It also emerged the figure of Oblak, successful in their decisions, taking a hand of great merit.
No signs of life Atletico. Griezmann was gone and Carrasco, elected as his companion attack, could not find the spaces with how comfortable you feel. Everything changed after the break, when the PSV seemed to acknowledge the physical exhaustion, but was also merit Atletico, who started stepping Zoet area more clearly. Gimenez, head; Augusto, far and Filipe Luis, volley; They lost the battle with the surprising Dutch goalkeeper.
With the team Simeone dump was PSV who had the best chance so far. But the shot slightly deflected Locadia Oblak, enough to run into the bar. A Morrocotudo scare for Atletico aimlessly. Simeone got to Torres, but soon took to Carrasco. Nobody knew what to play, whether to attack or be conservative. An ideal place for Coco, still more than alive scenario. Even after Torres post. The extension seemed inevitable, driven by Oblak and Zoe.
Zoe Oblak and pushed the game into overtime
The extra time was consumed without the direction of the tie will vary one iota course. They were in total 210 minutes without any of the two teams succeeds in scoring a single goal. All merit, that is true, but worthy of the museum of horrors. Penalties would decide which team would quarter. Things are matched and did not care at the Calderon play in Maracana. Eleven meters are not owned by anyone.
Penalties turned shotguns sniper rifles fair. An unexplained phenomenon. The first fourteen ended in a goal, with all the pressure for Atletico, throwing in the second position. Until it was his turn to Narsingh, who plugged the crossbar. Juanfran free to Simeone ran the band and her damsels times. His team was in the quarterfinals because nobody knows how to suffer as his Athletic
