A selection of Wolverhampton Wanderers fans reacted on Twitter after Rafa Mir’s heroics for Spain in the Olympic Games quarter-final against Ivory Coast.
La Roja trailed after just 10 minutes into their last-eight clash after Eric Bailly bundled the ball into the back of the net from a corner.
Dani Olmo brought them level at the half-an-hour mark. The scores remained the same at the interval after some top-class saves from Unai Simon.
In the second half, Mikel Oyarzabal scored with a lovely volley, but the goal was ruled out for offside in the build-up play.
In stoppage time, Max Gradel appeared to have bagged the winner for Ivory Coast, but La Roja made a sensational comeback.
Rafa Mir scored within minutes of coming off the bench after a defensive misunderstanding between Kouadio-Yves Dabila and Bailly.
In extra-time, La Roja took the lead through Oyarzabal in the 98th minute. He scored a penalty after a bizarre hand ball from Bailly.
Mir put the game beyond Ivory Coast with two quickfire goals before the end of extra time. His hat-trick came up with just 10 touches.
This has got some Wolves fans talking. Here are a few reactions on Twitter.
Said it before but Rafa Mir has got to be given a proper chance with us. Has improved massively since his loan playing regularly at Huesca #wwfc
