Villarreal lost to Huesca as the Copa del Rey produced
some surprise results on Thursday.
Villarreal suffered a shock 3-2 defeat at Huesca in the first leg of
their Copa del Rey last-32 clash on Thursday.
Marcelino's side are sixth in La Liga, but they have work to do
in the tie against the side sitting 18th in the Segunda Division
after a dramatic contest.
Goals from Matias Nahuel and Cedric Bakambu had twice
drawn Villarreal level after Luis Fernandez's opener and Fran
Merida's penalty for the hosts.
But they had no answer to Huesca's third goal from on-loan
Granada striker Darwin Machis, as the second-tier side held on
despite a late red card for Christian Fernandez.
It was a tough night for the seeded sides in most of the Copa's
other matches, too. Eibar are on the brink of crashing out after
being thumped 3-0 at Ponferradina, with goals from Luka
Dordevic, William Jebor and Dmytro Khomchenovskyi doing the
damage.
Malaga also lost to Segunda Division opposition, going down
2-1 at Mirandes. Roque Santa Cruz cancelled out Alex Garcia's
opener, but Lago Junior scored 21 minutes from time to seal
victory for the underdogs.
Last season's finalists Athletic Bilbao are on course for the next
round, though, after early goals from Kike Sola and Aymeric
Laporte gave them a 2-0 win at Linense.
There were two all-La Liga fixtures as Levante drew 1-1 at home
to Espanyol after Roger Marti's late equaliser prevented
Mamadou Sylla's strike from proving decisive.
Las Palmas came from behind to beat Real Sociedad 2-1
thanks to goals from Asdrubal Hernandez and Hernan, which
sealed victory after Bruma had struck first for the visitors.
