The 'KINGS WORLD CUP CLUBS' is in full swing right now, and the last German team still in the tournament had to win today to avoid elimination. In the 'KINGS WORLD CUP CLUBS', the best teams from all the Kings Leagues around the world compete against each other. For Futbolistas Locos, today was a knockout match for a spot in the round of 16.
And it was against none other than the Spanish champions, Ultimate Móstoles. The Spanish league, along with the Brazilian league, is considered one of the strongest Kings Leagues in the world.
But Futbolistas Locos managed the impossible and defeated the clear favorites by the narrowest of margins in a penalty shootout.
The Germans took the lead in the sixth minute with a precise shot from Rebronja.
This 1:0 lead held until Honorato’s dream goal in the 18th minute. The Spaniards had already had several good chances before that, but they were stopped by the outstanding Dreesen. Shortly before halftime, the Spaniards even took the lead.
But with a double strike in the 30th minute, including a President's Penalty from Chefstrobel, Futbolistas Locos were back on the road to victory.
Shortly before the end of the match, the score was 4:4, and in the Kings League, if the game is tied from the 38th minute including stoppage time, the golden goal rule applies. That means whoever scores is through!
But in this intense final phase, no goal was scored, so it went to a penalty shootout. In the shootout, each kicker has five seconds to beat the goalkeeper in a one-on-one duel starting from the halfway line.
The penalty shootout became the goalkeepers’ moment to shine, as each allowed only one of the five penalties. Dreesen and Segovia left the shooters in despair and delivered a real thriller.
After the regular shooters, it was the two unbeatable goalkeepers’ turn: Dreesen went first and coolly converted his penalty like a true striker. Now Segovia was under pressure—he had to score.
But Dreesen made himself immortal and saved the penalty. Hats off to his performance, not just in the penalty shootout, but throughout the entire match.
Futbolistas Locos are now in the round of 16 against Unit3d from France.
