Sabadell lives a fairy tale and defeats Cordoba in an electric match

SabadellSabadell continues to live a fairy tale in its return to the Second Division, after defeating Córdoba 3 to 2 thanks to a penalty goal by its captain, Albert Orriols, in the final minutes. The 'Arlequinat' team now has eight points and occupies a surprising third position. The match, played just on the day the city's main festival ended, was electric and had plenty of plot twists. In the end, the joy remained at the Nova Creu Alta, where they rub their eyes at a team that, having the fourth most modest budget, is currently standing up to the giants of the division.

In front of a Nova Creu Alta that once again experienced a festive atmosphere with more than 9,000 fans, Sabadell started very strongly. After 20 minutes they were already leading 2-0 thanks to two goals from Nico. The first after a great recovery by Quadri in midfield, who stole the ball from the rivals and entered the area all alone. Shortly after, Urri from Osona invented a beautiful assist for Nico, but the referee blew for an offside that did not exist. After consulting the VAR, the officials validated the second goal.

Cordoba reacted with an action in which VAR intervened to assess whether a red card should be shown to Edgar González, but in reality, it was not even a foul. Shortly after, however, Fuoli committed a penalty that allowed the visitors to score the first goal. Cordoba, who had defeated Girona on the first matchday, carried the weight of the game in the second half, but without managing to hurt a Sabadell side that missed many chances. Joel Priego and Miki Codina, tireless, drove the Catalan team, where Baena, the player from Santa Coloma who until now played in Poland, made his debut. But the tired legs eventually showed, and Diego Fuoli was forced to make two saves of merit.

Finally, Sabadell received a heavy blow when, with 10 minutes left in the match, Fernández equalized at 2-2. It seemed that the Vallesans were running low on energy, but in the final minutes, they did not stop looking for the winning goal, and they found it in a penalty for which the referee needed VAR to see a handball. Urri, without getting nervous, scored the goal that allows Sabadell to continue living on cloud nine: they do not know defeat, they have won both league matches at home, and they have also lifted the Copa Catalunya.
