La Ponferradina, where the Ecuadorian-Spanish winger Kike Saverio plays, was eliminated on Tuesday by Espanyol in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey after being beaten on penalties, after the match ended with a score of 1-1.
Adrià Pedrosa put the Barcelona team ahead as soon as the game started (minute 3), but Yuri drew a penalty for the Leonese and forced an extension in which the scoreboard no longer moved.
In the penalty shootout, the locals were very unlucky, missing three of their four shots, giving Espanyol the chance to qualify without even taking their fifth and final shot.
Saverio, who entered the variant at minute 77 to replace Cristian, missed the fourth shot from eleven meters.
Despite the mistakes in penalties, the Ponferradina proudly said goodbye to the Copa del Rey “after a great game,” reads its Twitter account.
“Very proud of our team and our journey in the Copa del Rey!”
