Ilias Akhomach put the visitors ahead and Alfred Planas equalized from the penalty spot causing extra time that lasted more than half an hour and was not played at all, with players waiting in the dressing room for technical issues to be resolved.
Reina Sofia duel took its first steps HE villareal without wasting a second He contests Iván Martínez’s goal. The yellow-red team started the match with great momentum, leaving the home team behind and quickly looking to get ahead.
Baena’s shot, which occurred in the black-white area in the third minute, fell into a fight with Ekaitz when Ilias Akhomach attacked from the right wing 5 minutes later. The penalty, which was given after the indecision between the goalkeeper and the full-back, who wanted the penalty that was not given, frightened the Salamanca fans who were involved in the game from the beginning.
He dominated and chained the goods directed picture Marcelino Garcia Toral but Gerard Moreno, who was unable to uncover the Charro goalkeeper until a corner around the 10th minute, forced Martínez into a wonderful stretch with a header at the far post. A good response came from Soriano, who took the rebound from Cuenca, who sent the ball well over the goal with a left-footed volley.
The script seemed to have been written by the yellows, but Unionistas de Salamanca reacted to this dangerous approach and changed the trend thanks to set pieces and centers in the flanks of the attack, allowing them to see it so closely for the first time. Pepe Reina, He made more than 5,000 people in the stadium scream for a goal with a magnificent save in the 13th minute.
As a result of the rehearsed play, a wonderfully executed free kick from the right wing by Dani Ponz’s students, Mario Losada finished alone, with Ramiro Mayor’s well-prepared heel reaching the far post, but the World champion goalkeeper emerged. to maintain the bond in the light.
The people of Salamanca and its respectable people, who are still very active, believed this. Despite the cold evening in the Castilian-Leonese city. From this game on, control of the ball began to become more distributed as the Unionistas felt increasingly comfortable unlike their opponents, unable to figure out Albinegro’s defensive structure, with long passes to Morales and Altimira rising to their best. entities.
Most of the first period went like this; The visiting team was not very prominent in the offensive area and the unionist squad was making threats from the wings and dead balls. Losada found himself in front with a very clear ball after half an hour, in one of the balls that went from the sides to the middle part of the Salamanca formation, but he sent the ball to Reina’s right post with a half-volley without any difficulty. .
With the last five minutes left in the first half, Villarreal took a step forward, taking advantage of the decreasing energy of the First Federation team. In one of several interceptions during that span, Altimira reached the baseline and made a nervous pass to second for Morales; Morales faced a good effort from Camus, but it wasn’t very strong and the ball remained loose on the perimeter. small area-
After a series of jumps, leather fell on your feet Gerard Moreno Who shot Iván Martínez at close range?, gives the copy this by remarkably stopping the narrowing of the spaces. It was the last thing of note before the players went to the dressing room, and the first half left Ponz happier than his Castellón counterpart.
Although the ‘yellow submarine’ took to the field with the intention of taking command in the second 45 minutes, its opponents did not allow it. The Unionists were in a good position to defend. The Yellows, who repelled the Yellows’ attempts to reach the goal well, are determined to penetrate through the middle and bite the other side, have difficulty in getting the ball out in many cases.
Charritos’ great intensity leveled the forces in the Cup tie and on Villarreal’s goal kick, which the Unionistas were pressing very well, Teijeira, who had entered shortly before, sent the ball into Pepe Reina’s goal… but the goal could not be cleared. Scoreboard as the game was previously stopped by the referee.
The decision, which came after Busquets Ferrer commented that Ekaitz was imitating a penalty and stopped the game and showed the yellow to the unionist winger, caused anger in the entire public after the fans put their hands on their heads and protested the call. Even more so with his players in this 62nd minute of the clash.
Shortly afterwards, Marcelino made substitutions to get a reaction from his team, with Coquelin coming on for a Bailly touch, Terrats coming on for Baena and Sörloth coming on for José Luis Morales. The Norwegian giant fueled Villarreal’s attack, He began to approach the white-black door more and more frequently.
The northern striker put the Salamanca team in danger, but it was Ilias Akhomach who plunged a dagger into the Unionistas’ bodies in the form of a thumping goal. The young player from Castellón, who was the most active among the players from Castellón throughout the duel, scored the first goal in the 82nd minute with a ‘folha seca’ shot from his left foot to the right corner of Martínez, who could not do anything against the Moroccan missile.
Villarreal took a breath and Reina Sofia remained silentWho reappeared shortly after seeing how his team did not give up and went for a draw. An equalizer that came just five minutes later when Alfred Planas converted Comesaña’s maximum penalty and brought delirium to the San José neighborhood and much of Salamanca.
Until then there wasn’t much end of the regulation period, We’ve left everything to both teams for what is expected to be an exciting extension, with the Unionistas seeing progress to the second round as more than possible and Villarreal showing signs that could lead them to have more than just an uneven season without fully knowing. What a movie it was.
