Burgos surprised Getafe and won 3-1 in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey at El Plantío. According to the Argentine News Agency, the top-tier team started with a goal from Alex Sancristóbal, but the hosts turned the game around with goals from David González and a double from Iñigo Córdoba. The home team managed to recover from the initial shock and, with a solid and effective performance, capitalized on three defensive errors by the visiting team to secure a well-deserved victory. In the first half, Getafe took the lead from an isolated play, but Burgos was the team that posed more of a threat and managed to equalize before halftime through a penalty converted by David González, awarded after a foul in the area. In another match, Athletic Club had to go to extra time to advance, defeating Ourense 1-0 with a goal from Mikel Jauregizar in the 15th minute of the first half of extra time. Finally, Real Betis had no trouble and defeated Real Murcia 2-0 with a goal from Cucho Hernández in the 30th minute of the first half and an own goal from Diego Piñeiro in the 40th minute of the second half. Iñigo Córdoba took advantage of a poor read by Duarte to turn the score around, and then Córdoba himself appeared again, after another lapse, to extend the lead to 3-1. Getafe had a chance to get back into the game when the referee awarded a penalty, but Borja Mayoral missed the kick, letting the opportunity for a 3-2 score slip away. As time ran out and with no clarity in attack, the Madrid team was eliminated, while Burgos celebrated a resounding victory in front of their fans. Meanwhile, Athletic Club had to go to extra time to advance to the next round.
