Lamine Yamal scores crucial goal in Kings League thriller
La Capital secure dramatic 8-7 comeback victory
Barcelona's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal swapped the Spotify Camp Nou for the Cupra Arena on Sunday to serve as acting president for his Kings League side, La Capital. With Barca team-mates Fermin Lopez and Joao Cancelo watching on, the 18-year-old stepped up to convert a high-pressure penalty, inspiring his team to a dramatic 8-7 comeback victory against Ibai Llanos' Porcinos.
Yamal's decisive moment
The Cupra Arena was transformed into a Blaugrana stronghold on April 5, as Lamine Yamal took center stage in Gerard Pique's innovative seven-a-side competition. After watching from the VIP box, the winger descended to the pitch to execute a flawless "president's penalty" against veteran goalkeeper Tomeu Nadal. This clinical finish provided the necessary momentum for La Capital to secure an 8-7 win, punctuated by Sergi Vives' decisive golden goal in front of the mesmerised crowd.
