Chapter 28: Advance to the Fourth Round (Ask for Recommendation Votes, Ask for Collection)

Once the match began, Numancia launched an even more fierce attack on Santa Malaga amid the shouts of the home fans.

With the success of the previous phase, the Santa Málaga players were more composed and united, forming an airtight wall in the penalty area.

This wall held back the waves of attack of the opponent.

Time flew by and the delay in scoring goals left the Numancia players increasingly desperate as they knew the tide was turning.

However, the world is impermanent, and at this moment, an accident happened on the field, which gave them hope!

In the forty-third minute of the second half, Numancia launched an attack from the right side, the fullback crossed from the bottom, MiG knocked the football out of the penalty area with a single fist, and Alberto No, the core of the Numancia midfield outside the penalty area, shot angrily!

The ball slammed into the penalty area like a cannonball, deflecting the outside of Barris Addo's right leg!

The ball changed direction and luckily passed between the legs of another San Malaga defender and flew towards the goal!

MiG, whose vision was blocked, could not make an effective save at all, and could only watch the football fly into the net!

The goal left the long-frustrated Numancia fans ecstatic, and now with only one goal separating the two sides, they see hope of an equalizer!

The unexpected goal put the pressure on the Santa Málaga players.

The suspense is back on the field.

Antonio shouted encouragement to his players in the command area, telling them that the game was coming to an end soon.

The Santa Málaga players encouraged each other to hold on for the last few minutes.

The game started quickly, Numancia pressed all over the line, and soon snatched the football to show Santa Malaga a ferocious attack.

The Santa Málaga defence was put to the test, with Pablo leading the way and forming a solid line with another midfielder, erecting a barrier in front of the line.

Unable to open up the situation in the middle, Numancia attacked again from both flanks.

In this case, Liag retreated into the box and joined his teammates in the airspace of the box.

Time flies, and the fourth official holds up the electronic display on the sidelines: four minutes of stoppage time!

The atmosphere at Pajaritos is tense and the battle is heating up, with any mistake threatening to wipe out the effort.

In the stands, the shouts of supporters on both sides rose one after another, as if two armies were fighting together.

Li Chuanqi also retreated to his own half, he couldn't play a role at all in front, now the defense is tight, his teammates have reached the limit, he has to help them share.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Numancia launched a wave of attacking surges.

The right-back made a 45-degree cross, the football flew into the penalty area, and the Numancia center headed the goal against Liag!

The ball flies through the MiG's ten fingers and towards the top right corner of the goal!

"Pong! ……”

When the supporters of Santa Malaga were about to despair, the football hit the crossbar!

This made the Numancia fans, who were already ready to cheer, suffer a lot.

The ball bounced into the box and Baris Addo pushed the ball out of the box with a head, Alberto No, the heart of the Numancia midfield. Preparing for a repeat of the old trick, but Li Chuanqi's timely defense blocked the shooting route, making it impossible for him to shoot from distance.

Alberto Noe took control of the ball and redistributed it to the wing, and the full-back crossed the box diagonally at 45 degrees again!

Liag couldn't get the Numancia centre-forward on the back of the net this time around, and he took the lead to push the ball out of the box.

But he collided with the head of the opposing center, and both of them let out a scream at the same time and fell to the turf!

The referee immediately blew his whistle and signaled the doctors of both teams to enter the field to deal with it.

Juan, who doubles as the team's team doctor, ran onto the pitch with a first-aid kit on his back, and Santa Malaga finally got a respite.

Antonio shouted to captain Pablo to the sidelines and told his teammates to make sure they spent the last minute or two safely.

Li Chuanqi looked at the corners of Liag's bloody eyebrows, and his eyes were full of determination.

"Hey! Lee, can you see if there is any phase break? ”

Liag grinned and endured the pain as he looked at Li Chuanqi and asked.

"Nope!"

Li Chuanqi told a lie without changing his face.

Liag obviously didn't believe his words, and said after snorting coldly: "I am suave, even if I break the picture, I will still be admired by beautiful women!" ”

The teammates around laughed, and the tense atmosphere on the field became much lighter.

After some emergency treatment, the two players were slightly injured and continued to play with injuries.

The rest of the game was like hand-to-hand combat, with chaos on the field and both sides fighting for every inch of land.

"Tick! Backbite! Backbite! ……”

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!

As soon as the whistle blew, the Santa Málaga bench howled and rushed onto the field, and the most loyal supporters of Santa Málaga, Tomás, jumped into the field from the stands......

Numancia fans were very disappointed and depressed.

"I think this D team will surprise the whole of Spain!"

"What do you mean...... Can they move on? ”

"I'm optimistic about them."

'Yes, they've done a really good job defending, and they've got a lot of impactful strikers. This teenager is super fast, and his ability to grasp opportunities is amazing. ”

Surprisingly, the Numancia fans did not lash out at their own team or their opponents after their team's loss, but instead talked about their opponents' futures.

On the pitch, the San Malaga players hugged excitedly, and they rewrote the history of the D team in the Copa del Rey - reaching the fourth round!

From now on, the name of Santa Málaga will forever be engraved in the history of the Spanish Copa del Rey!

Their hearts stirred with the ecstasy of making history.

When Liag saw Li Chuanqi, his mood was extremely complicated.

"Back then, I Liag was on the pitch and scared the opposing defenders, and now ...... Ay! ……”

Li Chuanqi comforted: "Otherwise, I will retreat in the next game, and you will be in front." ”

Liag snorted twice and gritted his teeth and said to him, "Good! In the next game, I'll go all the way to the front, and you pull back to get the ball! I can't do all the dirty work! ”

Li Chuanqi didn't know his character, and said with a smile: "Okay! Deal! ”

"Me! Bah! ……”

Liag spat on the turf and walked away in disgust.

Pablo patted Li Chuanqi, who was snickering: "Li, today is improving again, two balls!" ”

Li Chuanqi showed his white teeth: "It's still the captain's passing that is amazing, without the captain's two extremely accurate passes, where do I have a chance to score!"

You are the Girard of Santa Malaga! ”

Pablo didn't take his compliment seriously, nodded at him and said, "We are a big step closer to our ideal!" ”

"But we haven't succeeded yet, we can't afford to relax!"

Li Chuanqi withdrew his smile and nodded solemnly: "Captain, I know what to do." ”
