The highlight of the match was striker Gonzalo García, who scored a perfect hat-trick: a header, one with his right leg and another with his left leg. Defender Asencio and left-back Fran García also found the net for the Merengue team, and striker Cucho Hernández scored for the visitors.
Coach Xabi Alonso preferred to keep the 21-year-old striker trained at the club’s academy, and Endrick ended up on loan to Lyon. Gonzalo García scored two great goals in the match: the first was a header after a free kick taken by Rodrygo, in the second, he received a pass from Valverde, controlled the chest and shot with his right leg, a great goal, and to end the night he scored a great goal from the left after a cross from Arda Guler.
