The first day of the second round of the Cup had begun an hour ago when the clock showed 8:00 p.m. yesterday. . No surprises at the edge of half-time. In Portugalete, 0-1 for Alavés; in Soria, 0-2 for Mallorca; in Ferrol, 0-1 in favor of Huescain the atony of the ordinary administrative procedure when the unexpected happened at the Modular stadium in Zaragoza. After a corner in favor of Osasuna, when the modest Ebro was boxed in his area, the ball fell at the feet of a rebel. Victor Charlez is his name. He protected the ball using his robust, solid body, and took off as if the springs in his calves were working a miracle. Rather than running, he bounced for 70 meters, avoiding rivals as he had done a while before, but this time he managed to leave the recipient of his pass alone: none other than Kevin Soreiro.
Soreiro, who avoided the offside net that Catena threw at him, had grown up in Tajonar, an Osasuna school. The Navarrese had become romantic the day before. “I love Osa Suna very much but I am going to try to score a goal,” he told El Heraldo de Aragón. When he stood in front of the goalkeeper, he hit him with a bite. The ball still ended up in the net. The Indargorri group, stationed at the fateful bottom, witnessed the ax blow with perplexity.
Soreiro’s goal revolutionized the most fun game of the day. Osasuna won it, 2-1 in the second half and Ebro matched it, a combative, irreducible team, sure of its ability. A gift for the Cup. The 2-2 led to 2-3, 3-3, 3-4 thanks to Moi Gómez’s saving missile in the 88th minute and the final 3-5. Only in this way did Zaragoza beat the brave team from the Second Federation, the fourth Spanish category. In other fields, Mallorca in Soria beat Numancia, from the Second Federation (2-3); Alavés defeated Portugalete (0-3) of the Third Federation; and Huesca beat Ferrol (0-2), which plays in the First Federation.
