Real Sociedad - Atletico Madrid 0: 2
The Colcheneros have not won the Copa del Rey since 2013, and after tonight's result, fans have realized that at least a full decade will pass before the next sweep.
The two teams battling weekly for a place in the Champions League came to a direct knockout battle, with the Basques who won last year’s 2019/20 Cup (the final was postponed following the Corona) coming out with their hand on the top.
Adnan Inouzai hit the first goal for Jan Obelek in the 33rd minute, Alexander Sorloth took advantage and snatched the ball from the defense and galloped towards the 0: 2 in the 47th minute that sealed a dismal evening for the Spanish champions.

Valencia - Sevilla 1: 1
The Andalusians completed their missing game against the Bats, but did not achieve the result they expected.
If Sevilla had won they would have reduced the gap from Real Madrid to just two points and thus opened the championship fight, but stumbled on the diversion.
With a lack of staff, without Eric Lamela, Jose Navas, Soso and also without coach Julen Luftaghi, who remained at the hotel following a positive-border check Corona, the guest actually gained an advantage from Mukhtar Diakbi's own goal in the seventh minute, but Gonzalo increased his balance in the 44th minute. The game is over.
Valencia were still left with 10 players after Jose Gaia received a second yellow and red card in the 89th minute, but for the locals it was too little and too late.
Another game in the league:
Salta Vigo - Osasuna 0: 2
For Salta Vigo: Hugo Mayo (29), Santi Mina (38).
