Four other teams from Biscay, in addition to Athletic, had an appointment this weekend in the Cup. The three who played at home managed to make the cut yesterday. Saturday’s lone traveler, however, fell in overtime.
The historic Arenas starred in one of this Saturday’s cupbearer surprises by eliminating Lugo, from LaLiga SmartBank, in Gobela. Gomez, by finishing with a header after a corner kick, signed the goal of the Historic classification with a quarter of an hour left. Olaizola’s men knew how to grit their teeth and maintain their advantage until the final whistle.
Gernika will have to suffer more than the red and black to eliminate another Second Division rival. Larrazabal’s men had to wait until the penalty shootout to eliminate Leganés. Goalkeeper Altamira managed to deflect the last shot that gave his team the classification after a match that ended goalless.
Sestao River was strong again in Las Llanas, unbeaten leaders in their league group. The verdinegros took advantage of a great goal from Leandro Martínez to knock off Racing de Ferrol. Those of Aitor Calle continue to be inescapable.
The only negative news for the Biscayan representatives came from Amorebieta. The blues, the only ones who had to pack their bags on this cup day, fell short of Urritxe. The goal from local Acevedo, from a penalty in the 116th minute, led to the dismissal of Mujika’s men.
