Mallorca reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey after beating a Girona team that started as a clear favorite in a match in which Javier Aguirre’s men showed their best version of the season. A ‘crushing modus’ that surpassed the LaLiga leader in 45 practically perfect minutes of the vermillionswho will fight for a place in the final 15 years later.
The first half started off strong, with both teams laying down openly and leaving nothing hidden. In fact, the goalkeepers appeared very soon avoiding Stuani’s goals, first, and Abdón and Larin’s, later. With Son Moix leaving their throats, the minutes passed and the LaLiga leader was not able to stop the locals, who They won 9 out of 10 divided balls and, to make matters worse, they began to regularly hover around Juan Carlos’s area.
In one of them, and after a disconnection in the left-hand lane, The first one from Mallorca arrived. Ball into space, career of the tireless Dani and gift for Larin, which he resolved with the calm of a killer. That did not change the plan of Míchel’s team, who continued to show a sense of danger every time they stepped into the rival area… but were unable to put the lock back. It was just after a one-on-one match forgiven by Savinho, with a good save by Greif, when the storm broke out.
Lightning and thunder were named after Abdón Prats., which in just five minutes turned the field uphill for the Catalan team. First, with a wild left foot from the front, and second, transforming a penalty reviewed in the VAR due to Antal’s handball. The young Hungarian defender, who was making his first start, did not have his night.
After passing through the locker room, Míchel added gunpowder with Dovbyk and Yan Couto, and although little by little they dominated the scene through the ball, the truth is that the Aguirre boys showed off an exercise in resistance worthy of an event like this. Shortly after Valery and Portu entered, but it was not until the halfway point, in an isolated play, when Son Moix froze. Raíllo shamelessly grabbed Stuani in the area, Munuera Montero saw it very clearly and, after warning him, decided to send off the captain after his angry protests. The Uruguayan did not fail… and everything was open.
In it final stretch the camera only focused on Greif’s area, who saw how Girona arrived from all sides. From the right, from the left, from the inside, with crosses into the area… practically the entire Aguirre squad entrenched near their goalkeeper and with their shield in front, prepared to suffer. In this way, six minutes into the addition, Savinho shook the foundations of the vermilion fiefdom with a goal that left his men on the shore, dying standingand seeing how his rival made use of his great first half to continue dreaming.
