  • Cornellà.The 'family' quarry of the 1,000 children and the dream against Atlético

The

Atletico Madrid

, untreatable in the league, was overtaken by a Cornellà that earned him a simple matter of faith.

Guillermo Romo's team believed more in their options to surprise and ended up eliminating in the second round of the Copa del Rey a rival who was very far from the best of their images.

It is true that

Simeone

gave rest to several key figures, but it is no less so that those who jumped onto the pitch were at all times unable to show their theoretical superiority.

The leader of Primera simply made a fool of himself.

Cornellà started the game with force.

And he would be able to find a reward for his intention to go for Atlético very soon.

Adrián Jiménez

was in charge of sending

Agus Medina's free-

kick to the back of the net

to put a surprising 1-0 on the scoreboard.

Jose María Giménez

, the author of the infraction, made things even more complicated for his team by injuring himself in the action and having to leave his position to

Savic

.

All, when barely ten minutes had elapsed into the duel.

Before, even, the locals protested without success a possible hand of

Ricard Sánchez

in the area that, without VAR, would remain in limbo.

Atlético, terribly uncomfortable, both due to Cornellà's attitude and to an artificial turf that its players are not used to at all, tried to recover from the blow and threaten the rival goal.

Unsuccessfully.

Not even his clearest actions managed to kiss the web.

Like, for example, a triple shot with

Correa

, on two occasions, and

Saúl

as the protagonists that would end in a corner.

Or a shot from Correa that

Ramón Juan

saved showing off, but which was already invalidated due to offside.

Or even a header from

Felipe

, after a prolongation by Savic, who just barely found his way to the goal.

Debut of San Román

Cornellà, however, also had their opportunities to beat the newcomer

San Román's goal again

.

The mattress goalkeeper, in fact, worked hard to send

Estellés's

cross shot to a corner

.

And, in the final stretch, he would see how

Pablo Fernández

smashed against his body the shot that culminated a very great play by

Guillermo Romo's team

, with the last heel pass from Agus Medina included.

The locals arrived and frequently threatened the goal of a rojiblanco team in which their figures could not find a way to shine, no matter how much they gave the occasional spark in the final stretch of the first half.

The duel did not change much in the resumption.

The occasions went from one place to another.

And, in this case, Atlético would be harmed by considering one of

Cuadra Fernández's

assistants

that

Vitolo

was offside when, in reality, he started from his half of the field.

In addition, things would get even worse with the expulsion for a double yellow of a Ricard Sánchez who could have safely saved the second.

With one less, the comeback was even more uphill for an Atlético de Madrid that was unable to capture its theoretical superiority on the pitch.

El Cholo even surprised locals and strangers by sending an

uninspired

Joao Félix

to the bank to give in to a homegrown player like

Mario Soriano

.

The young player, however, would be one of the green shoots for an Atlético in which Correa, in the final stretch of the game, looked again and again for a way to send, at least, the game to extra time.

Unsuccessfully.

His reaction, although loaded with good intentions, came too late and could not prevent the First Division leader from kneeling before a fierce Cornellà.
