in the 1º leg with an epic & historical comeback to win tonights 2ºleg
encounter 5-1. Historic because never before had Atletico comeback
3 goals down in the Spanish Cup, epic because they went down 10
men after Assuncao was given a Red Card, plus he made a defensive
mistake 2 minutes earlier that gave Recreativo the "virtual" pass to
the Quarter finals.
In the classical Atletico script of suffering until the last moment,
SERGIO AGUERO was vital & the "man of the match". The Argentine
scored twice ( 23rd & 62nd min) of which both were important
psychological boosters. ULFALUSI scored the second goal with a
header in the 23rd min, & SIMAO scored the opener in the 20th min
& scored the last & most important 5th goal from a perfect free-kick
in the 80th min that brought stadium down. Absolutely amazing...
With Atletico up 4-0 in the 71st min CARMONA scored for Recreativo
after a "typical" defensive mistake from Assuncao that put all of
Atletico´s hard work down the toilet. It was the worst 10 minutes of
the match were the home side could have lost it. However, now with
the post - result, it was a "glimp" in the global picture,a game that
was a "cracker" & had your balls in your throat for 90 mins. MAGICAL
night for Atletico!
WATCH VIDEO OF GAME HIGHLIGHTS ...(dont miss the Simao free-
kick):
Similiar events occured at MALLORCA with a 2ºhalf comeback that
gave them the pass to the Quarter finals. RAYO VALLECANO went
into this game with a 2-1 victory from the 1ºleg & scored first via
PITI in the 45th min to clear the road onto glory.
But Mallorca scored 3 goals via VICTOR who scored twice (50th &
60th min) & SUAREZ in the 92nd min who was the heroe of the
night to give his team victory & the key. Final result 3-1
