The 2024-25 Copa del Rey continued on Saturday with six more qualifiers, in which teams such as Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla will participate. After Friday’s giant-killing, in which Pontevedra defeated Mallorca, another surprise occurred.
UD Almeria 4-1 Sevilla
Almería produced an incredible performance in the second half to defeat Sevilla. The La Liga side had taken the lead at half-time after Isaac Romero scored early, but an equalizer from Marko Milovanovic and then a hat-trick from Luis Suarez ensured a fantastic result for the Segunda side.
Marbella FC 0-1 Atlético de Madrid
Atlético Madrid will be in the crosshairs for the quarter-final draw, although it was an unconvincing victory for Diego Simeone’s team. Antoine Griezmann scored the only goal of the game in the first half.
UD Logroñés 0-0 Athletic Club (3-4 penalties)
Athletic Club had many problems against third division Logroñés and in the end it was penalties that decided the result of this tie. In the end, the defending champions emerged victorious by a score of 4-3.
SD Huesca 0-1 Real Betis
It was not a convincing performance from Real Betis, but they did enough to secure their place in the quarter-finals. The only goal of the game was scored by Isco Alarcón, who scored for the second consecutive game (after Rayo Vallecano’s pre-winter break).
Tenerife 1-2 Osasuna
Two goals in the first half were enough for Osasuna to defeat Tenerife in the round of 16. Jorge Herrando and José León (OG) scored the goals for Los Rojillos, who were stopped later in the first half by a goal from León from the right side.
