Once again there were several surprises in the Spanish cup. Last year's champions Valencia brought back Santiago Cañizares in goal, but in the end lost 3-0 to second division Osasuna. Cañizares was at fault for the last goal, and Cúper may keep Palop in goal for the next league game. Three other first division teams Alavés, Betis and Oviedo also lost by the odd goal to lower division teams, the former losing 1-0 to second division B side Real Unión who had eliminated Valladolid in the previous round. Barcelona and Mallorca could only draw with teams from second division B, Poli Almería and Ourense respectively, and Atlético Madrid and Espanyol drew with second division A teams Las Palmas and Albacete. The only ray of light for Atlético was the reappearance of Kiko after a year long injury. It was left to Celta to salvage the pride of the first division. They beat Sporting 0-3. In the all first division clashes, Rayo won by the only goal at Bilbao, Deportivo beat Málaga also by a single goal, and Zaragoza won against Racing, by 2-1. All three second division clashes ended in draws. See our cup section for full results and scorers.
