The Athletic of Madrid has been deleted of the Glass of the King by second consecutive year, by a team of Second B. In the past edition was the Cultural Leonese and this year the Cornellà imposed in front of a picture colchonero without suffering too much. The rojiblancos, leaders in LaLiga Santander, did not have good reading of the game and were punished after a goal tempranero of Adrián Jiménez, an ex canterano 'colchonero'.
The 'Cholo' Simeone jumped to the field with his less usual players and his experiment did not succeed. By the contrary, the Cornellà jumped with win, understanding perfectly how carry the result: without gifts to defensive level and with high pressure to the exit of the balloon of the rival. When the clock brushed the seven minutes, the pressure and lto law of the ex had his effect. In front of an Athletic very desconectado and without a lot of ideas, Jiménez took advantage of a centre to balloon stopped to finish with the left-handed and put it far of the scope of the guardameta 'colchonero', Saint Román.
The Athletic, at least in League, seemed invincible, but in the Glass of Rey, to only party, the 'colchoneros' have showed his worst image, by second consecutive year. After the so much of Jiménez, to the ones of Simeone cost him react, especially because they had lost to one of his more important players in the first minutes of the meeting, José María Giménez, the one who was substituted after an injury in the left ankle.
The rojiblancos treated to react, but at all had effect. Saúl had one of the clearest opportunities, but commanded the balloon to the crossbar. To Correa, also in the first part, denied him the goal almost under the three sticks and Felipe launched the spherical was. The venues completed some occasions, but found in front of an excellent Saint Román, that replaced to Jan Oblak.
The Athletic did not find the party
Already in the second half of the meeting, the Madrilenian picture continued insisting of face to the rival arch, but without effectiveness. The Atleti had will to equalise the electronic, but was missing him football. Torreira Had one of the clearest in the minute 56, after a free shot that went through on of the barrier, but left diverted the balloon.
The nightmare did not detain for the Athletic . With little more than half hour for playing, Ricard went out expelled by double yellow. The side left him the foot to the rival goalkeeper when Ramón Juan advanced to the spherical, what cost him the red. From this moment, the ones of Simeone went to rack and ruin and cost them horrors approach to the rival goal. The Cornellà, if something did very well, was to hold the pressure (almost without problems) and force to the colchoneros to remain in his field.
