Sørloth’s Late Heroics Keep Atlético Alive in Epic 4-4 Copa del Rey Showdown

Sørloth’s Late Heroics Keep Atlético Alive in Epic 4-4 Copa del Rey Showdown

The Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys at Catalonia became a Spanish stadium for the first Copa del Rey semifinal match that saw Barcelona and Atletico Madrid deliver an unbelievable 4–4 draw. The match resulted in an unbelievable 4-4 score because both teams demonstrated persistent attacking tactics to overcome two consecutive opposing goals.

 

The Barcelona offensive pushed the home team to score four consecutive goals which completely dominated the two earlier goals scored by Atletico Madrid during the first half interval. The game seemed destined for Barcelona until Atletico scored their two late goals that reclaimed the match. The game reached its most dramatic point during stoppage time when the bench player Alexander Sørloth scored the match-winning goal.

 

Early in the game Griezmann scored a stellar goal in the sixth minute followed by Álvarez who netted on the first minute kickoff which positioned Atletico Madrid ahead before Barcelona experienced intense pressure. The home team launched an immediate offensive response to recover the scoreline when Pau Cubarsí and Pedri scored consecutive goals before the 21st minute.

 

The team managed to score their first goal before halftime before Iñigo Martínez netted Barcelona's second goal at the 41st minute. The lead grew stronger in the 74th minute when Robert Lewandowski scored as Barcelona built upon their dominant position despite the numerous shock results already seen in the game.

 

The Madrid team refused to submit despite their impending defeat. The Barcelona fans reacted in disbelief when Sørloth scored his close-range goal in injury time which came moments after Llorente restored hope by scoring a second goal in the 84th minute.

 

The battle is far from over. The second round of competition will occur at Metropolitano Stadium while the teams fight for championship bracket entry during April. Real Madrid together with Real Sociedad will defend their positions in the semifinal match starting on Wednesday from the Basque Country against the winner.

 

The Copa del Rey brought victory to Barcelona in 2021 but Atletico achieved their last triumph in 2013. The recent 2-1 victory of Atlético Madrid over Real Madrid in their December La Liga match strengthened their bitter sporting rivalry.

 

The semifinal matches follow a two-leg format that expands the tension since everything depends on the results compared to the double-elimination knockout stage before.
