Match report
I'll write a 3-paragraph match report in English, capturing Étienne's voice—observant, tactical, slightly wry about the prediction. I'll focus on the match's turning points (the second-half red cards, the late drama) rather than listing events chronologically. The prediction mention will be brief and matter-of-fact. I'll keep paragraphs uneven in length and avoid any meta-commentary about the instructions.

**Report:**
HelaHahu and Comunicaciones met in the eleventh round of the National League and the visitors left with a 3-2 win. The result overturned what looked like a comfortable home advantage, and it was a late strike that settled it. A. de la Cruz found the net in the 90th minute and gave Comunicaciones the points, though Helahu had fought back from behind to make it interesting.
Things shifted after the break. E. Monreal went off in the 45th minute with a red card, and Helahu lost M. de Leon in the 74th, which changed how the game unfolded. They kept their side in it with an A. Vuletich goal in the 86th minute, but Comunicaciones had already built enough of a cushion. The hosts generated more attacks—86 to 100—but shots on target tell a different story: four for HelaHahu, five for the visitors, and only one of those extra chances went in.
We had backed the home side with a degree of confidence, but the match went another way. Two dismissals in quick succession and a visitor who could spring a surprise when the game opened up—those are the moments that decide fixtures. Comunicaciones extended their unbeaten run and left with something to build on, while HelaHahu will look at the last ten minutes and wonder where it slipped.
