Madrid Stunned But Endrick Saves The Day With Two Goals In Extra Time

January 17, 2025

Real Madrid needed two goals from Endrick in extra time to get past Celta Vigo in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey and avoid another embarrassing setback less than a week after losing 5-2 to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final.

The match was intense from the start, with both teams looking to gain the upper hand. Celta Vigo came into the match full of confidence after a string of impressive performances, but Madrid was determined to bounce back from their recent loss.

The first half saw both teams create scoring opportunities, but neither could find the back of the net. Madrid dominated possession, but Celta Vigo's defense held strong, and the match remained goalless at halftime.

In the second half, Madrid continued to push forward, but Celta Vigo's counterattacks kept them on their toes. The match became more physical, with both teams committing fouls and receiving yellow cards.

As the match approached the 90-minute mark, it seemed like the two teams would have to settle for a penalty shootout to decide the winner. However, Endrick had other plans, scoring his first goal in extra time to give Madrid the lead.

Celta Vigo pushed hard to equalize, but Madrid's defense held strong. Endrick then sealed the win for Madrid with his second goal, securing a spot in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey.

The win was a much-needed boost for Madrid, who had been under pressure after their recent loss to Barcelona. Endrick's two goals in extra time will be remembered for a long time, and the young player has cemented his place in the team.

Meanwhile, titleholder Athletic lost to Osasuna, making the competition even more unpredictable. The Copa del Rey is known for its surprises, and this season is no exception. With several top teams already out of the competition, the remaining teams will be looking to capitalize on the opportunity to win the title.

Madrid will be looking to build on their win over Celta Vigo as they progress to the next round. With Endrick in top form, they will be a force to be reckoned with. The young player has shown his ability to perform under pressure, and his goals in extra time will give him the confidence to take on any opponent.

The Copa del Rey is heating up, and the remaining teams will have to be at their best to make it to the final. With several more rounds to go, the competition is far from over, and football fans can expect even more exciting matches in the coming weeks.
