Elche forgives a sung goal

Madrid is saved by a miracle at the start of the Copa del Rey round of 16 match against Elche. The local team had a clear opportunity to get ahead on the scoreboard but Guido Carrillo, only one meter from the goal line, crashed the ball into the crossbar for white relief.

The play was born with a change of play from left to right that surprised Marcelo, who was overtaken in the race by the fast Josan. Already inside the area, the winger had all the time in the world to think and execute and he put in a great low cross so that Carrillo only had to push the ball into the back of Lunin’s net (m. 10).

However, the striker did not adjust the inside of his left leg well and the ball went up and crashed into the crossbar to the despair of the local fans, incredulous at the wasted opportunity.
