The Cacereño players celebrate the second goal /
Second round
The people from Extremadura were superior to Míchel’s team and the Catalans became the first big team to lose in this phase of the tournament
The first big surprise of this second round of the Copa del Rey was carried out by Cacereño, who managed to defeat a whole First Division like Girona 2-1 and being, in general terms, better than their rival. The team from Extremadura took the lead with a goal from David Grande, but Castellanos responded after a few minutes to equalize. Some tables that Iván Fernández, a hero from Cáceres, would break with a goal in the 60th minute, which places the RFEF Third Division team in this Friday’s draw. Girona joins Cádiz and Almería, who lost in the last round, as La Liga teams already eliminated.
Celta’s game was very different, playing at the same time against Gernika. Very clear dominance of Carvalhal’s team, who won 3-0 on the fast track, with a particularly inspired Carles Pérez.
It is now Atlético de Madrid’s turn, the last team in the League pending to play their second round cup match, and they will do so against an Arenteiro that already knows what it is to eliminate a great.
Results:
Cacereño 2-1 Girona
Guernica 0-3 Celta
