Villarreal's bad season got even worse - the "yellow submarine" was sunk in Salamanca, where it was defeated in the King's Cup by the third division Unionistas.
The club fighting for survival in the third tier of Spanish football celebrated after the match that lasted two days, i.e. 120 minutes and eight series of penalties.
The game, which was interrupted last night due to a power outage, continued today, and it seemed that everything was resolved in the 82nd minute, when Villarreal took the lead with a goal by Moroccan Iliyas Ahomas.
The home team, however, equalized in the 87th thanks to the reserves - Martin Teiheira forced a penalty in a duel with Santi Komesanja, and Alfred Planas took advantage of it.
There were no goals in overtime, and in the penalty shootout, first Alberto Moreno missed for the guests, then Planas. The decision was made in the eighth series - Adri Gomes sent the ball just under the crossbar, and Kiko Femenija over it to the great celebration of the home players and 5.710 fans at the "Kraljica Sofia" stadium.
