Valencia avoided an extremely early exit in the Copa del Rey, and it has, in part, U.S. men's national team-eligible midfielder Yunus Musah to thank.
Musah scored in second-half stoppage time to force extra time in Valencia's 4-2 win over fourth-tier Terrassa in their first-round matchup on Wednesday. Musah, who had come off the bench in the 86th minute, scored the equalizer five minutes later, volleying in a corner kick from the center of the box.
Goncalo Guedes punched Valencia's ticket through in the 103rd and 108th minutes, with the Portugal international scoring the decisive goals. Valencia had trailed in the match, 2-0, prior to Carlos Soler's 83rd-minute penalty kick.
