He hurt the ball stopped and found the route to match the game, something that vitalized his team and demoralized the rival, which was no longer the same.

Played for everything or nothing

  • With the score against and the need to even match the series. Tapia decided to go to the attack without neglecting the low zone; He made variants in his scheme and in the end it turned out. His amulet was DeWinder Bradley, who, always leaving the bench, marked throughout the final phase and ended up being fundamental, marking the goal of the comeback that was worth the title.
