The Copa del Rey returned the official competition to Spain after a month and a half, and on the return, Villarreal went through a bad time to leave out Guijuelo, a rival from the Second RFEF, which made things difficult for them after taking the lead in the score with a goal from Carmona from a pass from Alex Caramelo.

The artificial turf did not suit Quique Setién's team, who was never comfortable, although he was able to equalize before the break with a penalty goal executed by Gerard.

The Salamanca team was well equipped in the second half, until they managed to force extra time, but the local illusion was frustrated three minutes into extra time, when Danjuma holed an assist from Parejo.

In addition, Guijuelo was left with ten due to the expulsion of Alex Lorenzo.

In Las Llanas Athletic sweated to beat Sestao River in the Vizcaya derby.

He had already warned Ernesto Valverde that he did not trust his rival.

The calico was known, which is why it inhabited the green-black locker room in that leathery team led by Javier Irureta, so he produced a more than manageable line-up.

The locals struggled in the first quarter of an hour in which they squeezed Athletic, but as soon as the rojiblanco team had the first opportunity, they took advantage of it.

It was in a free kick that Zarraga executed and in which Raúl García got ahead of the defense to score.

Shortly after, Guruzeta was injured and Valverde had no choice but to put his second World Cup player, Iñaki Williams, on the field.

His brother already appeared in eleven.

With a pitch heavy due to the rain, Athletic had a hard time combining due to the ferocious pressure from Sestao, who did not let up until the last second.

At the Stadium Gal, 500 meters from the French border, a historic team that won four King's Cups, Real Unión, stood up to Mallorca, who went ahead in the 20th minute with a goal from Dani Rodríguez and then managed their advantage in the rainy night in irun in which there were alternatives in the game, although the aim of the Gipuzkoans failed.

Vasco Aguirre's men had to fight to avoid the surprise, which in the end did not take place.

Getafe had been the first team in the top flight to qualify on the cup night that returned to the official competition after the World Cup in Qatar.

Quique Sánchez Flores's team played half throttle against Diocesano on the artificial turf of Arroyo de la Luz, in Cáceres, but it didn't take much more to overcome a very modest rival who didn't have enough enthusiasm.

Two goals from Munir, one in each half, were enough to put things in his place.

In Guadalajara, the result was perhaps somewhat misleading because the final 0-3 for Elche does not reflect what was seen in a match in which the home team had the opportunity to equalize Pere Milla's goal in the 5th minute. Guadalajara was not intimidated by Machín's team, who was making his debut on the Elche bench, and stood up to try to balance the score.

Only in the last minutes was the Primera team released thanks to the individual quality of its players.

First Ponce and then Tete Morente, who spurred a long shot by Raúl Guti, rounded off the scoring.

In the vein of the whole day, Espanyol, on the island of La Palma, also suffered to continue in the Cup. Against Atlético Paso, only the inspiration of Nico Melamed, the best of the match, was able to unbalance with barely ten minutes remaining to finish and the local team was already caressing the extra time.

Results: Guadalajara, 0-Elche, 3. Diocesan, 0-Getafe, 2. Intercity, 2-Mirandés, 0. Guijuelo, 1-Villarreal, 2. Real Unión, 0-Mallorca, 1. Sestao, 0-Athletic, 1 Athletic Step.

0-Spanish.
