At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on December 15, the second round of the Spanish King's Cup, Espanyol played away to the third division of the league team Cristo Athletic. In the first half, Suardea took the lead; in the second half, Wu Lei equalized and Selch Gomez was killed. In the end, the Spaniards defeated Cristo Athletic 2-1 and advanced to a thrilling promotion.
In the first round of the Copa del Rey, with Moron's hat-trick, espanyol eliminated Solaris 3-2, and Wu Lei contributed an assist in the game. In this campaign, Wu Lei once again got a starting opportunity.
In the 6th minute, David Gallego fired a free-kick from the right and Suardea flicked his head forward to score! Spain trailed 0-1!
In the 12th minute, Wu Lei scored a goal, but the referee signaled that Moron, who had previously won a one-handed opportunity, was offside, so the goal was invalid.
Just 20 seconds into the second half, Mo long's exquisite cross from the outside of the left side of the penalty area was met by Wu Lei! 1-1, Espanyol equalised!
Wu Lei finally scored his first goal in a club competition this season, and it was also his first goal in 343 days in club competitions. Coincidentally, the last time Wu Lei scored for Espanyol was also in the Copa del Rey. After the goal, Wu Lei was held high by his teammates, but he himself did not celebrate fiercely, and the serious expression on his face did not ease a little, just a long sigh of relief. Wu Lei, who has always been regarded as the pride of Chinese football, can finally let go of some pressure.
In the 46th minute, Wu Lei received a one-handed opportunity from his teammates, but the angle of the shot was too right, just hit the goalkeeper, and missed the opportunity to open the scoring twice. For a long time, playing a single knife seems to have become Wu Lei's nightmare, and this season he has wasted multiple opportunities, which is the biggest reason for Wu Lei's gradual marginalization.
In the 86th minute, Serch Gomez, who had just come off the bench, turned around and shot to complete the kill! Spain 2-1 win!
In the end, espanyol defeated Cristo Athletic 2-1 and successfully advanced to the third round of the Copa del Rey.
