The Cup does not give truce. The new format of single-party still causing bother for the teams in First, forced to play, in addition, in the field of the opponent of lower quality. The Mallorca was eliminated against Zaragoza and Osasuna suffered a lot to eliminate the Recreation, a Second B. The Athletic needed penalties to leave behind the Elche after the extension ended up with one tie and the other big surprise was reflected in Tenerife, where a Second removed to Valladolid (2-1).
The Athletic beat Elche on penalties (5-4) after a 1-1 draw at the end of the regulation time and extra time. The local set what he had in his hand after two stops of San Román, but the whole basque survived. Yes, Herrerín stopped a penalty decisive Iván Sánchez ahead so dramatic. Neither the referee nor the assistant, in goal line, it warned. There is No VAR in this round and the penalty is not repeated.
The surprise erupted in Tenerife. A goal from Sandro ahead of the castilians in the second half, but the whole canary islands gave back to the marker thanks to the many made by Joselu and Daniel Gomez, when you run a penalty committed on the own Joselu (2-1). The Tenerife sneaked into the knockout after a game of huge excitement. The islanders live on the edge of the abyss in the League, but enjoy a lot in the Cup. This weekend will play the derbi canario with The Palms.

The uruguayan finished off flawlessly with the head and scored that proved definitive for the current champion, colara in the hype of the second round, a round that will be raffled off Friday morning. The Valencia met its objective without great fanfare.
More efficient was the Villarreal. The group that directs Javi Calleja ended up with a Girona more aware of the League (0-3). Funes Mori, Cazorla and Samu scored the goals in the Villarreal, that it was not the troubles of the previous tie against Orihuela.
The Granada also suffered with the Badalona, although he spent extra time (1-3). Ismail ahead of the andalusians and Robusté was able to tie it in the second half. Diego Martínez, coach of Granada, gave entrance to Machís and Gonalons in the extension, which decanted the balance in favour of the andalusian team. The own Gonalons and Carlos Fernandez did the goals that rated the Granada.
