An own goal and Sadiq invites Valencia to another round

EI Ourense CF woke up from its cup dream because of an own goal from Carmona and Sadiq’s first with Valencia. Carlos Corberán’s men thus continue their path in the tournament, although with nothing to boast about except for the Nigerian’s debut as a scorer and with no more expectations in this Copa de Rey than what the hype wants to give them again in the quarterfinals.

Ourense showed that a First RFEF team does not reach the round of 16 by chance, let them tell Deportivo de la Coruña or Real Valladolid; Valencia, for its part, is bottom of the First Division for a reason. The Galicians showed enthusiasm, enthusiasm, but also order and criteria; The Valencians, with rotations in their lineup, did not surpass them in desire or talent. Neither Baraja was the cause of all the evils nor did Corberán come with a magic wand from England. YesOnly Sadiq showed that he plays in another league. Hence the equality that existed in O Couto until the Nigerian sentenced the evening.

At the start there was an initial phase of control by Valencia, with an active Jesús Vázquez on the left wing. But later Pablo López’s team began to rise after verifying on the ground that the wolf was not as fierce as its history indicateswith Fidalgo, Noriega and Jairo Ramos growing in the center of the field and a very motivated Alberto Gil, one of many homegrown players who have passed through Paterna who knows what would have happened to them if they fell into these lean times.

It is true that Sadiq had two chances in the first half to open the scoring. Both clear and manifest. Two headers practically from point-blank range. Because of his movements, the Nigerian remembers more and more that of Almería since he arrived at Valencia, That’s how good the goal he scored last night could be for him to feel that in terms of finishing it’s not what it was in Anoeta either. All things considered, Dimitrievski also had to intervene on three occasions against shots from Noriega and Jerín before the break.

Ourense could not have returned from the locker room with worse luck. Especially Carmona, who in his eagerness to clear a Tejón center sent the ball to the back of the net. That own goal forced Ourense to go into the river and Valencia was able to fish in those troubled waters. Sadiq had it again, who was deprived of the goal this time by the crossbar. But from then on, Ourense got on top of Corberán’s team, and even El Miguelete.

The departure of Ángel Sánchez revolutionized the local attack, which gave Caín the pass to the Valencian fans. A shot to the post included and three corner kicks with which the respectable people went crazy. They even claimed some hands from Yarek that neither Ortiz Arias nor Alberola Rojas (VAR is already in this Cup) considered punishable. but when O Couto sang “Yes we can” to motivate his team and “A Segunda, a Segunda” to delve into the rival’s wound, Sadiq appeared, took a weight off his shoulders with an impeccable cross shot and sealed a match that until the end only had Pablo López’s debut with Valencia to mention. The first youth player to do so in the Corberán era.
