The second round of the Copa del Rey was very surprising, as three teams were eliminated in the first round. Aer, Caio Girona vs. Ourense, and today, Espanyol vs. Atletico Baleares. The Primera Federación club played a very dangerous game in defense and very effective in attack, scoring the only shot on goal, the work of Jaume Tovar. Furthermore, he competed against Espanyol one-on-one at the end of the game, controlling 48% of the position. For its part, the Catalan club expressed its regret for its lack of success, as it shot several times but was unable to score the equalizer.
It’s not a new disaster for Espanyol, as the first team was eliminated from the Premier League last year In the World Cup he fell to Barbastro, also from the preliminary association. The story was repeated at the Balearic Stadium, where the Catalan team suffered a bad image. He had warned Manolo that he would not participate in the tournament, but found himself outplayed by a more motivated opponent.
For his part, El Rayo struggled beautifully against Avila. The Spanish Federation’s second half started with former Raista Carlos Pascual starting the second half, and just when it looked like the job was about to be done, Issy Palazon broke the deadlock in the 94th minute. And once again, when it looked like the local side would hold out for penalties, Álvaro García completed the replay in the 120th minute.
