's goal to try to avoid the first defeat of the season in the league when

Fede Valverde

launched a desperate attempt towards Rayo Vallecano's goal.

Suddenly, the Vallecas stadium was filled with laughter.

The shot from the Uruguayan, too high, reached the balcony of the house of

Haider

and

Hamza

, two Iraqi brothers who live in one of the flats on Teniente Muñoz Díaz street.

Both, along with their father, began to shout and jump for joy on the terrace while the stands sang "Stay the ball".

"I couldn't believe it! But I preferred the ball to end up in my house than in Rayo's goal," Haider, who isn't much of a football fan but supports his father, a staunch Rayo fan, replies to this newspaper.

The brothers, aged 30 and 29, are engineers and arrived in Madrid this week to visit their parents.

The Al-Mula family has an engineering company in Iraq and they have been traveling to Madrid for seven years.

The father liked the country so much that he decided to buy a flat in Vallecas in 2016.

He is a big fan of Rayo", they explain. in English, while Hamza assures between laughs that it is "the first party that I see in my life".

Haider and Hamza, very hospitable, proudly show the match ball and rule out making money with it.

"We thank Valverde, it will be a great memory for our family. We are not going to sell it even for 3,000 euros, we don't care about the money. We have received many messages asking us for the ball and we tell everyone no," they point out. , criticizing the fact that an ad on Wallapop went viral on Tuesday morning asking for 200 euros for the ball.

"

Valverde

has cast this ball on my balcony," said Wallapop's post.

"It's fake! Why do people do that? We're not going to sell it, really. It's a gift to our family."

The brothers are hallucinating with the repercussion that Valverde's shot has had.

"People started ringing the bell of our house after the game like crazy. They wanted the ball at any price! It's a very simple thing, but very funny. We like the Spanish people very much," they confess in English.
