Soldado scored a sensational goal from 30 metres to put Granada 0-4 up at Navalcarnero. The team from the capital went out to the attack from the off and were three goals down early off. Then, Soldado scored a stunner to kill off any remote hopes of a fightback.
He received a long pass, avoided the low challenge by Manu, lifted his head up and saw Nestor was off his line. He beat him with a lovely lob. It was a lovely chip with his right boot which saw the ball loop into the top corner.
He did not celebrate the goal a great deal because his team were dominating against a far inferior opponent. There was applause from the home fans who were trying to cheer their players up.
That was not Soldado's first contribution of the game. In the third goal, he had assisted Fede Vico who also scored a lovely goal. This came about after a move involving Aaron, Antonio Puertas and Soldado. A long punt forward by Aaron was controlled by Puertas' chest and his ball was flicked on by Soldado's head. Vico made no mistake.
¡ABSOLUTAMENTE MARAVILLOSO! ¡@R9Soldado alzó la mirada y dibujó la vaselina perfecta!
