The Spanish third division team eliminated the ‘yellow submarine’ on penalties, but it took 16 penalty kicks to decide the winner. The 90 minutes had been played on Sunday, with the visitors only scoring in the 82nd minute, with a shot from Ilias Akhomach, after a pass from Gerard Moreno, but the equalizer arrived, not even 5 minutes later, precisely from a penalty, which Alfred Planas converted .
Interestingly, the Spaniard was the only one to miss his team’s eleven-meter kick, with Alberto Moreno and Kiko, Villarreal’s full-backs, being the players who failed for their team.
