And that against none other than the Spanish champions Ultimate Móstoles. The Spanish league is also considered, along with the Brazilian league, one of the strongest Kings Leagues in the world.
But the Futbolistas Locos managed the impossible and narrowly beat the clear favorites in a penalty shootout.
The Germans took the lead with a targeted shot from Rebronja in the sixth minute.
This 1:0 lead held until Honorato's long-range shot in the 18th minute. The Spaniards had previously had several good chances, which were parried by the outstanding Dreesen. Just before halftime, the Spaniards even took the lead.

With a double strike in the 30th minute, including a President's Penalty by Chefstrobel, the Futbolistas Locos were back on the winning track.
Just before the end of the match, the score was 4:4, and in the event of a draw, the Kings League plays in the Golden Goal mode from the 38th minute, including extra time. That means, whoever scores, advances!
But no goals were scored in this intense final phase, so it came to a penalty shootout. There, each shooter has five seconds to beat the goalkeeper in a one-on-one duel starting from the halfway line.
The penalty shootout was then the hour of the goalkeepers, who only let in one of the five penalties each. Dreesen and Segovia made the shooters despair and provided a real thriller.

After the regular shooters, it was the turn of the two unbeatable ones themselves: Dreesen went first and converted his penalty coolly in the best striker manner. Now Segovia was under pressure - he had to score.
But Dreesen saved the penalty. One can only tip one's hat to his performance, not only in the penalty shootout, but throughout the entire game.
The Futbolistas Locos are now in the round of 16 against Unit3d from France.
