Copa del Rey, fifth round, first leg (rescheduled match)

Eibar put in another great performance in the cup this week, the second division B side giving Málaga a run for their money before the Andalusians came back to level the tie at 1-1. Having knocked out their Basque neighbours Athletic Bilbao last week, the locals were looking for another surprise, and they had the better chances in the first half on a rain sodden and muddy pitch which slowed the visitors down. With a quarter of an hour to go they took the lead, Añibarro getting behind the defence to poke Bingen's free kick wide of Kameni. But Sergio Sánchez hit the bar with a long shot a few minutes later, and with the game already in the third minute of injury time, keeper Altamira came off his line to a long Buonanotte free kick which he was never going to reach, and Onyewu got ahead of him and his defence to head the ball in to an empty net.
