SPORTING | VILLARREAL | Sporting jump the bench

Sporting gave the bell of the Cup. Eliminated Villarreal, current champion of the Europa League and eighth finalist of the Champions. And he did it right chen Emery decided to put his best men on the field. A new Rulli error in the ball exitn gave wings to the sportinguistas. Djuka scored a goal to tie and Bogdan, for the squad, killed the yellows.

Those of David Gallego jumped the bench from the hand of two of their best players: Djuka and Fran Villalba. They both took to the field in the second half. And the improvement was evident. First scored a goal from 25 meters after controlling and shooting a volley without dropping the ball. And the second did magic on the winning goal in midfield, enabled Djuka and he yielded so that Bogdan shot Rulli. They call him for something in Valencia The Magician of Cabanyal.

Villarreal dropped the beach bar when he least expected it. After six wins in a row and a seventh on track, after going ahead with a goal from Albiol, the yellow ones sat, knowing that Atlético will arrive on Sunday. But they forgot that in front they still had another rojiblanco team, It’s over taking out the colors. One more year Villarreal has a dislike with the Cup. And this time you may have doubts about what is coming.

The defeat was unexpected but the truth is that Villarreal came out with a march less than he used to in the last games. With a slower pace and doubts in defense, Sporting, supported by its people, took the initiative. He even had a very clear one, with a lab move, which left Bogdan only before Rulli. The Ukrainian was filled with the ball and sent it to the clouds. He stayed lamenting and He swore that if he had another one like him, he would nail it for the square.

After the break, Emery pulled Gerard. The Catalan is sweet and in two minutes he shot more on goal than his entire team in the first half. One of his shots ended in a corner. And the corner on Albiol’s goal. All in order. Alberto Moreno could sentence but Mariño avoided it. The party walked smoothly for the yellows but Rulli, again, erred at the start with his feet. The ball fell to Djuka. Bad idea. Golazo.

Villarreal’s legs were shaking and Djuka, from Chile, and Aitor lit El Molinón that roared with the aura of “Now, Quini, now!”. And then they appeared Villalba, Djuka and Bogdan, who remembered the ruling in the first half, dressed as Quini, and nailed her by the square. Villarreal tried desperately but by then he was out of the Cup.
