Andorra won its third Absolute Catalunya Cup by defeating Olot in a penalty shootout.

The Garrotxa team came out believing in their chances despite the difference in category and in the 22nd minute Oier saved Forés’ goal with a great save. However, Andorra is unforgiving on their first arrival. On a counter well managed by Karrikaburu, he left it to Álex Calvo who crossed from the left for Álvaro Martín to beat Batalla. Despite the blow, Olot did not give up and before the break they had two clear options. Terma hit the post first (min. 41) and then Moha Chabboura got his own after an assist from Terma (44′).

After the restart, Olot continued to struggle to find an equalizer. Maynau, with a header, had a good chance, but an Oier block three minutes later was again decisive in preventing Urri from scoring.

Olot searched for him and finally found him. With a corner kick, Urri equalized, at the far post. The last bars will come and go in places. Marco Gil saved Karrikaburu’s 2-1 lead after a counterattack (83′). Then, it was almost 2-1 when the rebound from Andorra’s defense hit the crossbar (86′). Lobete gave the locals a scare with a shot over the crossbar (91′) and in the 94th minute Marc Roquet scored the winning goal for Garrotxí.

In penalties, luck smiled on the Andorran team (2-4).
