🏆A night of scares: how Thursday unfolded in the Copa del Rey | OneFootball

Today, the Copa del Rey week concluded, and we bring you the star, the surprise, and the disappointment.

Betis doesn't clear the hurdle

After the defeat in La Liga against Atlético Madrid, Betis switched gears to visit Palma del Río.

The verdiblanco team quickly got the match out of the way and was also able to give minutes to players who usually don't play.

Atlétic Lleida surprised Espanyol

Without a doubt, the Segunda Federación team surprised the La Liga team in every way. They started losing at 3 minutes but equalized at 6' and held on throughout the first half.

In the second half, it was Kike García who scored his double and saved Espanyol from embarrassment, leaving them with one conclusion: there is no room for relaxation in the Copa del Rey.

Levante suffered more than expected

Without a doubt, the match of the day took place in Orihuela. Levante started winning and always maintained the lead.

However, in the 90th minute, Basterrechea equalized for the locals, and only at 90+2' did Espí give the victory to the Valencians. Without a doubt, suffering like this against a Segunda Federación team is not at all acceptable for a La Liga club.
