The second half of the game was extremely intense, and Santa Malaga's tenacity completely exceeded Levante's expectations.
They thought that Santa Malaga would be defeated, but who knew they would be so tenacious. Ten minutes passed and they didn't even complete a shot.
On the contrary, in the 13th minute, Santa Malaga took advantage of Levante's passing error and immediately launched a quick counterattack. Liag passed two Levante defensive players and shot angrily from outside the penalty area. The football was slightly wide.
out.
The supporters of Santa Malaga seemed to see hope and shouted even louder.
However, a controversial penalty plunged them into despair.
In the 31st minute of the second half, Levante center Bardo dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Zucculini stepped up to block it. Without any physical contact between the two, Bardo fell to the ground.
"Beep!..."
The referee blew the whistle, pointed his right hand firmly at the penalty spot, and gave Zucculini a yellow card!
Zucculini tried his best to argue with the referee, and the Santa Malaga players surrounded the referee to complain. The scene was chaotic.
Levante fans let out huge cheers, and the chance to equalize the total score came!
After watching the slow motion, the Malaga TV commentator said angrily into the microphone: "This is a completely non-existent penalty kick!
Zucculini didn't touch Bardo at all!
Baldo dives!
This is a serious misjudgment!"
The commentator of Valencia TV admitted that this was a flop: "That's how it is on the football field. The referee is not omnipotent. He cannot make correct judgments on every situation. This often happens on the football field.
In any case, Levante has the best chance to equalize the score!"
Antonio went to the fourth official angrily, but he couldn't change anything at all. He could only vent his dissatisfaction.
On the court, the referee was unmoved. In the stands, the Santa Malaga supporters booed loudly. They hated the referee so much that they wanted to eat him alive.
Li Chuanqi, who was sitting on the bench, was not as angry as his teammates around him. Instead, he concentrated on hoping that that super premonition would appear.
"Come out! Come out!"
He roared in his heart, but that super strong premonition still didn't appear.
Leaning on the chair slumped, Li Chuanqi had no choice but to turn his attention to MiG. MiG, this time you are on your own...
The referee insisted on his penalty. Levante midfielder Farinos put the football on the penalty spot. He had already scored two goals in the first half. If he scores this one, he can complete the hat.
trick.
"Beep!..."
After the whistle, Farinos ran towards the football amid huge boos from the Santa Malaga supporters!
"Snapped!……"
Farinos was not affected by the boos at all and calmly kicked the football!
The football flew towards the right side of the goal. Miguel bet on the right direction and jumped up!
Surprise appeared in the eyes of Li Chuanqi and his teammates. Will a miracle happen?
However, the next moment the football was like a sharp dagger, flying past MiG's fingertips as he soared into the air!
When the football flew into the net, Farinos raised his hands in the air and screamed to the sky with excitement!
He was greeted with huge cheers and boos, with Santa Malaga supporters booing to express their dissatisfaction.
The Valencia TV commentator shouted excitedly: "Farinos! Farinos! Farinos!
Hat trick! Hat trick!
Four to zero!
Levante equalized the total score!
The next thing they have to do is to overtake the score and firmly hold the promotion initiative in their own hands!"
The Malaga TV commentator said regretfully: "Mig made an accurate prediction, but Farinos' shot was at a tricky angle, so he still failed to prevent the goal.
The total score now becomes 4 to 4, and Santa Malaga has encountered the biggest crisis in the King's Cup!
Can they still perform miracles?
Can you still continue your magical journey?
Can we still fly the flag of the D-League in the Copa del Rey?
Maybe...everything is possible!"
The Santa Malaga players were extremely silent, and even captain Pablo did not speak at this time.
Antonio, who was standing in the command area, did not encourage them loudly.
Because what he saw in their eyes was not despair, but anger and unwillingness.
After the game restarted, something that surprised everyone happened. Santa Malaga came out in full force and launched a fierce attack on Levante!
The supporters of Santa Malaga are excited. Damn it, this is the Santa Malaga that continues to create miracles!
In desperate situations, they would rather die standing than live in humiliation on their knees!
“Santa Malaga!”
“Santa Malaga!”
“Santa Malaga!”
There was a huge shout from the stands.
The Levante players never expected that this D-level team would change their previous conservative approach and attack with all their strength.
Ignacio Martinez was afraid of making a mistake, so he stood in the command area and shouted loudly, signaling his players to defend.
In the 34th minute of the second half, Pablo stepped in from the back row, took Liag's cross and shot furiously from the penalty area line!
Munua struggled to save the football from the bottom line!
Immediately afterwards, Santa Malaga continued to put pressure on Levante's goal. Liage's push shot was blocked by the opponent's defender. He immediately rushed to shoot, and the ball was blocked by the defender again. Pablo's follow-up shot finally went higher than the goal.
!
Santa Malaga showed an unexpected side. They adopted a pressing style of play and actively pressed in the midfield and frontcourt, making it impossible for Levante to move the football to the frontcourt.
The Valencia TV commentator sighed: "I didn't expect this D-level team to show such a strong side."
But I believe their attack will end soon. If they really have this kind of strength, they won’t have the previous half-shrinking tactics."
In the 41st minute of the second half, Santa Malaga's efforts finally paid off. They completed a beautiful steal in the hinterland of Levante. After Pablo got the ball, he kicked it through!
The ball passes through the gap between Levante's two centre-backs!
The one who passed through immediately was Liag!
The tension at the Valencia Municipal Stadium was extremely tense.
The Malaga TV commentator said excitedly: "Opportunity!
This is Santa Malaga's best chance of the game!
Liag!
Let’s see if this forward from Real Madrid’s youth academy can seize this great opportunity!”
"Snapped!……"
Liage calmly pushed the ball towards the right side of the goal!
Levante goalkeeper Munua, who was attacking, stretched out his left foot in a hurry...
The Valencia Municipal Stadium has lost its sound at this moment, and the people in the stands have turned into statues.
In a flash of lightning, the football flashed past Munua's toes. Like a sharp arrow, it penetrated the goal line and hit the net hard!
