Betis, Las Palmas and Espanyol advance to the thirty-second round of the Cup with wins

Real Betis Balompié, UD Las Palmas and RCD Espanyol have advanced this Thursday to the thirty-second finals of the Copa del Rey MAPFRE, thanks to their respective 1-6 wins against CD Gévora, 0-7 against Ontiñena CF and 0-4 against San Tirso SD.

Without negative surprises for the LaLiga EA Sports teams, despite the scare of Atlético de Madrid visiting UE Vic, this first cup tie did have victims from LaLiga Hypermotion. One of them was Real Oviedo, who drew 0-0 at the Adolfo Suárez Stadium against Real Ávila who then won the penalty shootout 3-0.

Málaga CF also said goodbye to the tournament due to its 3-2 defeat in the derby with CD Estepona, which ended in extra time. Until that point, CD Tenerife left, but in that extra time they reacted with a double from Sergio González to beat CD Alfaro 0-2. Without hesitation, Racing de Ferrol won 1-3 against CD Cuarte.

Among the First Division contenders, Betis did well in their match at the Francisco de la Hera Stadium. After five minutes Sergi Altimira opened the scoring, stealing a ball on the edge of the area until finishing the action with a powerful right foot. And Assane Diao made it 0-2 in the 26th minute, with a low shot after a one-two with Iker Losada.

Cédric Bakambu made it 0-3 two minutes later with another low shot, having won the back of the central defenders. After the break, Juanmi Jiménez scored with a header on the goalkeeper’s rebound from a shot by Johnny Cardoso. In the final stretch, Vitor Roque scored a double for the Beticos and Juanma Álvarez scored the winning goal for Gévora from a penalty.

Even more prolific was Las Palmas at Campo Isidro Calderón. Four goals from Jaime Mata led to the ‘pio-pio’ victory against an opponent who accused him of having missed a penalty in first-half stoppage time, in the boots of Damián Llobet. Marc Cardona, Juanma Herzog and Manuel Fuster scored the other three goals for the Gran Canaria team.

On the other hand, at the Abanca-Riazor Stadium in La Coruña, Espanyol also won against San Tirso during the second half. The parakeets recovered from the penalty missed by Pere Milla after a quarter of an hour and, after the break, Alejo Véliz opened the scoring with a header. Of course, the sentence did not come until the final section.

Irvin Cardona made it 0-2 (85′), thanks to a pass from Naci Ünüvar after combining with Alex Král, and Véliz himself made it 0-3 as soon as he served from the center, stealing the ‘wallet’ from defender Carlos Gamallo, next to 0-4 in extra time after a quick counterattack.

Finally, UD Barbastro eliminated SD Amorebieta with a margin (4-0), Deportiva Minera gave a ‘little hand’ to CD Tudelano, Cultural Leonesa won at home (0-2) against UD Llanera and FC Andorra He did the same (1-2) on his visit to CD Don Benito.
