Carlitos makes the people of Jaén believe

Unrivaled atmosphere at the Olivo Arena in Jaén to see your team in these quarterfinals. Almost 6,500 people witnessed the classification of their team that will be among the top four in the competition.

The party was going to be short-lived for the host. Twelve seconds later, Viña Albali Valdepeñas took the lead with Lemine’s goal after hitting a defender. The castellanomanchegos were not going to be intimidated by the atmosphere and began the game by opening the can in the first minute.

Míchel fired at Edu Sousa and the respectable man began to cheer up again. However, the illusions of the people from Jaén would plummet with Viña Albi’s second. Rafael takes advantage of a defense error and pushes the ball in front of the Jaén goalkeeper. In fifteen minutes, the “visitors” were two goals ahead to the disbelief of the Andalusian fans.

But the people of Jaen never give up. Alan Brandi drives in the center of the field, yields to the left for Mauricio and the Brazilian hits the ball over Sousa to cut differences and make it 2-1. The Olivo Arena became animated and the cries of “Jaén, Jaén” began to be heard louder and louder.

César would place the equalizer four from the end after a low shot from a set piece to put the madness in the Jaen stadium. The local board had its effect and the game started again just before the break. Battery was about to put the third for the people of La Mancha, but Álex did not give an option with a worthwhile stop.

Two from the end, Jaén Paraíso turned the light around with Carlitos’ goal from the double penalty spot. Valdepeñas’ sixth foul was clear and the Cádiz-born sent a left-footed shot into the back of the net. Excellent comeback of the hosts.
