Christmas is synonymous with gifts. Time to spend with family, if possible, and days to enjoy and unwind. The latter is not known to Olot who got the ticket for the second round of the Copa del Rey after getting rid of Poblense by 1-2. Who dressed up as an uncle, Santa Claus, or whatever, were Xumetra and Roger Barnils to present the Olotins with two gifts in the form of a goal. Before the target of Torelló, the Balearics cut distances. It was time to endure 40 minutes with a goal advantage but the Olotins showed yesterday on the green that they are a family; and that when they are united no one or nothing can bend them. On January 6, a Municipal of Olot, unfortunately without public, will receive Osasuna with the intention of surprising a whole Primera. It remains to be seen who will dress as King of the Orient to give away the prized ticket to the last 16.
It’s a tough year for everyone. Both inside and outside the sports world, the covid-19 has wreaked havoc wherever it has gone. Hardly anyone has suffered any consequences. Olot knows full well that it has been immersed in a year that could be described as a roller coaster. Now I play, now I don’t play because I give positive and now I stop again when it looked like I could play the game. More or less, this is what has happened to a group from Garrotxa that has finished 2020 in the best way. In fact, Raúl Garrido was already warning that the dynamics were upward and they proved it yesterday. The King’s Cup is very popular.
In a duel that should have been played two weeks ago and which was postponed due to several positives for covid-19, the Garrotxins got rid of Poblense by the minimum (1-2) thanks to the goals of Xumetra , in the first part, and Roger Barnils, in the second. Whoever thought the pass would be blowing and making bottles, wore them skinny. That the Balearics could be in a lower category than the people of Girona could have foreseen. A mirage. In addition, it should be added that the Municipal of Sa Pobla was able to open its doors to approximately 300 people. In fact, and surely the result of the heat of theirs, the locals had the best chances of the duel. Battle had to intervene on several occasions during the first 45 minutes. The effectiveness, however, was put by the cast of Garrido thanks to a Xumetra that saw door to the 39. Well entered the repression, Barnils extended distances but two minutes later the retort came to put the 1-2 . You had to paddle bravely to hold the result. The prize, very greedy, deserved it, as on the day of Kings at 7 the Municipal will host the duel of his against a whole Primera, Osasuna. Of course, without an audience.
