Atlético wins the Copa de la Reina in the penalty shootout

The rojiblanco team soon took control of the game, and only a few good performances by Misa prevented the former from getting on the scoreboard. The one that did arrive was the goal from Alberto Toril’s pupils. In an isolated play, in a corner served to the penalty spot, Toletti headed into the back of the net, out of Lola Gallardo’s reach.

At the start of the second half, the white team came out in tune and Weir had, in a personal action, a clear chance that the red and white captain thwarted with a saving hand.

While Atlético ran out of ideas, Real Madrid insisted on their offense and found a prize. A measured center of Linda Caicedo, the most destabilizing of the white team in the second half, finished it off with a header from Ivana Andrés at the bottom of the net. First goal in the Valencian Cup with a special dedication to his pregnant woman.

Lucía Moral, WIFI, closed the gap with a few minutes to go. Banini got to the end line and took a manual back pass that her partner did not miss, who hit her cross with her left foot.

Atleti then believed in their options. Manolo Cano encouraged from the band, with shouts of “you can, you can” and the epic took place. In a direct free kick, Banini signed the equalizer and a real great goal already on the buzzer.

The final went to extra time, which was played under heavy rain, which made the game difficult and there were few dangerous plays. The players of the two teams began to notice fatigue in their legs despite the fact that they put a lot of attitude into it. WIFI looked for the goal in a distant shot rejected by the Real Madrid goalkeeper, Misa.

The fatigue of the players took away their lucidity and in extra time very little happened until it came to the penalty shootout. Lola Gallardo, Atlético’s goalkeeper, became great and saved two maximum penalties and Svava sent a third that was very deflected.
