«Girona» without Viktor Tsygankov was eliminated from the 1/32 Copa del Rey by the representative of the 4th division of Spain, Logroñés. However, even more impressive is how the underdog could pull off a miracle.
As reported by the Telegram channel “Bomber”, after a goalless 90 minutes, the game went into extra time, where Logroñés goalkeeper Enrique Royo suffered a concussion and left the field.
Since all substitutions had been used by that time, 19-year-old home defender Pol Arnao took over the goal — son of the former famous goalkeeper of Barcelona and Malaga, Francesc Arnao. The boy made several saves and helped the team reach the penalty shootout.
In the penalty shootout itself, Arnao saved a penalty from the top scorer of the youth Euro, Abel Ruiz, and did not concede after a shot from the main legend of Girona, Cristian Stuani.
Thanks to this, Logroñés won 4:3 and knocked out the bronze medalists of La Liga from the Copa del Rey! And the main hero of the confrontation, Pol Arnao, who won the penalty shootout, was thrown into the air just as high as his father once was.
