The second spherical of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey is at present ongoing this midweek, and already, three La Liga golf equipment have been knocked out of the competitors within the final two days. Espanyol had been dumped out on Tuesday, with Villarreal and Girona following go well with 24 hours later.
The story of Girona’s exit is maybe essentially the most outstanding. Simply earlier than half time in additional time, opponents Logrones had been compelled to place an outfield participant in targets after goalkeeper Enrique Royo was compelled off after struggling a suspected concussion.
Minuto 105. Kike tiene que abandonar el campo en camilla. Que sea lo menos posible. Como no hay cambios, Pol se pone bajo palos. 0-0.

19-year-old defender Pol Arnau was chosen to be in between the sticks, and remarkably, he prevented conceding through the the rest of additional time. To make issues even higher, he saved Abel Ruiz’s effort through the penalty shoot-out as Logrones went on to defeat Girona 4-3.
¡PARA POL! ¡PARA POOOOOL A ABEL RUIZ!

It will have been a really emotional second for Arnau, whose father Francesc – who died three years in the past – was a goalkeeper for the likes of Barcelona and Malaga. Like father, like son.
