Jorge Álvarez put the Aragonese ahead at the beginning of the match but Albertito equalized very soon (1-1). There were no more goals

Sant Andreu was eliminated in the round of 16 of the Federation Cup and says goodbye to the dream of playing in the Copa del Rey again. There will be no derby in the quarterfinals against Badalona Futur after Ejea will eliminate him on penalties (6-5) after finishing regulation time with 1-1.

Things soon went wrong for Xavi Molist’s team when, before the quarter-hour mark, Jorge Álvarez received a long ball and, after an individual play, beat Nil. Of course, Sant Andreu reacted immediately with Albertito’s goal. In the 19th minute, the midfielder pushed Juanan’s cross into the goal with his chest.

Pochito, Sergi Serrano and Martí, who had a goal disallowed for offside, tried without luck to unevent the duel before the break. After this, Ejea reacted and had a phase of dominance. The UESA woke up, with a chance from Iker that went high.

Escobar and Andreu Torres responded for the Aragonese and Paredes and Albertito had them for the Catalans. Without more goals, the game went to extra time. Despite there being opportunities to unevent it on both sides, the penalties were already irremediable. Escobar began by failing but Juanan and Paredes could not score, which together with Torres’ final success in sudden death gave Ejea the pass.
