The Copa del Rey came to the top 8 of the competition, with Mallorca hosting Espanyol receiving widespread attention. This is because Chinese player Wu Lei has previously won a lot of starting and playing time in the Copa del Rey, so fans can enjoy the performance of Wu Qiu Wang in the middle of the night, and his state is very important for the national football team that is about to play in the round of 12.
The two teams were the champions and runners-up of last season's La Liga, so the strength is very close, and they know each other well, so there is no too much temptation after coming up. Mallorca, who has home advantage, is the more aggressive side, Costa and Ndiaye have won good shooting opportunities, which has sounded the alarm for the Spaniards backline. Still, taking advantage of a set-piece opportunity in front, Mallorca turned his advantage into a win. In the 32nd minute, Jiu Jianying took the set-piece, and he used his golden left foot to pull the ball in a beautiful arc in the air to score the ball, and the score came to 1-0.
Throughout the first half, the Spaniards attacked very little. The scene was firmly suppressed by Mallorca. Before Moreno could make a timely substitution adjustment, the Spaniard conceded the ball again in the second half. This time it was still relying on set-pieces, Sevilla drove a corner kick on the left, Pratz jumped high in the middle of the penalty area, Lia Espanyol defender, vigorously flicked his head to break the goal, the ball flew into the far corner, the score came to 2-0. At this time, the Spaniard was in a desperate situation, and Wu Lei on the sidelines was also very anxious, and it seemed that he was eager to play with his teammates at this time.
Fortunately, the Spaniard quickly returned to color in a desperate situation, also through a set-piece, Pedrosa was very clever to serve the ball quickly, and after the high-speed insertion of Puado stopped the ball and calmly pushed the goal, the Mallorca players were still waiting for the referee's whistle, not noticing the result of this goal, and the score came to 1-2. However, such an opportunistic approach can only be used once at most, the Spaniard in addition to this magic stroke, effective scoring opportunities are very few, the 90th minute Wu Lei's appearance did not help the team to turn the tide, and finally regrettably lost.
In this way, the Spaniards ended their copa del Rey journey, with the only task left this season to relegate the league. No one expected that in this game, espanyol won 54% of the ball, but lost to Mallorca, who had only 46% of the ball, and both teams had 10 shots on goal, but it was clear that the Spaniards were not as efficient as their opponents. Originally, Wu Lei had a chance to draw in the 7th minute of injury time, but unfortunately, as usual, he wasted a great scoring opportunity for the Nth time, and the Chinese fans stayed up late and failed to witness Wu Lei's goal.
On the contrary, Majorca's side of the Jiu Health Care Ying, as the midfielder of the Japanese team, has long been based in La Liga, and this campaign also contributed a direct free kick to the goal, the level is significantly higher than Wu Lei. Because Kumiying and Messi are similar in stature, both are left-footed players, and the style of playing is quite close, so Kujianying is also affectionately known as The Lionel Messi by fans. But look at Wu Lei's performance, this season just the opportunity to single knife ball, wasted no less than 4 times, it is no wonder that Moreno does not like to use him, he always seems very silent on the pitch, there is no communication with his teammates, the performance is always a serious face, how can such a player gain a foothold in the five major leagues?
