Historic Mallorca, beat Sociedad and went to the final after 21 years – Day… Slovakian goalkeeper!

Terrible Majorcabent away from home Real Sociedad and qualified to final of Copa del Rey!

Javier Aguirre’s team, after the 0-0 of the first match and the 1-1 in normal time and the extension of the rematch, prevailed 5-4 on penalties and thus ensured its presence in the fourth relevant final in its history and first after the 2003when he won the trophy for the maiden time.

So there, waiting for the winner of the pairing Athletic Bilbao–Atletico MADRID (29/2, 22:30), with the Basques having prevailed 1-0 in “Wanda Metropolitano”. It remains to be seen, therefore, whether the surprise will be completed and we will have the… now unexpected couple in the final of April 6th in the “Cartuja” of Seville.

Majorca’s substitute goalkeeper emerged as a great hero, Dominic Greif. The Slovak goalkeeper, who is selected in the Cup games, took his penalty Oyarthambal in “Russian Roulette”, the first in the process (with all the rest being apt).

In fact, he had acted accordingly in his as well Hinge at 45’+1′ of regular time. In the 50′ The Gonzales gave Mallorca the lead with a header, with Oyarthambal to equate to 71′to… turn out to be fatal afterwards (in the penalty shootout), after the “sterile” overtime.

It should be noted that, as it turned out, it was the… day of Slovak goalkeepers. And this because, it is recalled that a little earlier the Martin Dubravka had two “stops” in the penalty shootout in its away match Newcastle with the Blackburngiving the “magpies” qualification to the quarter-finals FA Cup.
