still in the first half she took the lead in the match 1/16 of the King’s Cup final. In the 35th minute the rivals’ goalkeeper was defeated by Soler. And it seemed for a long time that the hosts one level lower would not be able to change the fate of the game. Everything changed in the 74th minute of the match when the referee called a penalty for Cartagena.
Surprising behavior of Valencia’s goalkeeper when taking a penalty kick in the King’s Cup
There was then an amazing situation. Valencia goalkeeper Jaume Domenech decided to get down on his knees just before his opponent’s shot. “Get up, get up,” shouted fans gathered at the Cartagena Stadium, but the Spanish goalkeeper ignored them. His tricks did not help much, because Ortuno probably used the “eleven” and led to the equalization.
In the end it was Valencia who managed to win the whole game. In the third minute of added time, Cheryshev scored a 2-1 goal, giving his team a promotion to the 1/8 finals of the King’s Cup.
Valencia thus met its next rival on the way to victory in the King’s Cup. In the 1/8 finals, the team of Jose Bordalas Jimenez will face Baleares, who defeated Celta Vigo 2: 1. Earlier, in the 1/32 final, Baleares defeated Getafe as much as 5: 0, causing quite a surprise.
If Valencia had managed to win, she would have repeated the feat of 2019 when she won this trophy. Then in the final, played in Seville, Valencia’s players defeated 2: 1.
