In the penalty shootout, Solares-Medio Cudeyo made history thanks to a save by Luis on the fifth local kick. Olloniego vibrated like never before with the previous round of the cup, with a bitter end for Nalón. The visiting team came out better and Pepo soon overtook Solares with a perfect shot from a corner. The rojillos de Solares knew how to contain the onslaught of Nalón, and even Hugo saved zero to two on the brink of halftime in a dangerous shot by Viti. In the second half, Nalón’s white and green took a step forward but Solares defended themselves with order. A dangerous shot by Miguel at 20 minutes touched the tie, but in the final stretch it was Solares who created the most danger on the counter. However, in the 89th minute, a local corner ended in noise in the area and Olay shot to the net, euphoria in Fumea with that goal in extremis. In extra time, Pep had the 1-2 but Hugo responded with an extraordinary save. And at ten minutes, Rulo’s header was taken out by Olay under sticks, when the 1-2 was already sung again. The second part of extra time was marked by fear and in the penalty shoot-out, goalkeeper Luis, who had entered the 119th minute, was the hero stopping the last local shot.
