Atlético Almost Achieves Epic Comeback! Sorloth and the Disallowed Goal
The Metropolitano vibrated with the intensity of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, in a match where Atlético de Madrid fought until the last second. A goal by Alexander Sorloth, which would have meant the draw in the tie against Barcelona, was disallowed in the 68th minute.
The Norwegian striker, who had entered in the second half, finished precisely after a pass from Julián Alvarez, beating Szczesny low. The Rojiblancos fans were already celebrating the 1-1, but the joy vanished when referee Munuera Montero, after consulting with VAR and the semi-automatic offside, invalidated the goal for a millimetric offside position.
Sorloth, who had already had a clear chance hitting the ball into the side netting, demonstrated his goalscoring instincts and his ability to generate danger. Despite the effort and commitment of the entire team, the disallowed goal weighed heavily, preventing Atlético from reaching the final. The determination and fighting spirit of the Colchoneros, however, left a great impression on their fans.
