Copa del Rey round-up

Holders Espanyol bowed out after a shock 1-0 loss at home to Rayo Vallecano.

The Barcelona-based Primera Liga side were expected to progress after a 1-1 draw against Rayo - currently playing in Segunda B, the third tier of Spanish football.

The only and crucial goal at Estadio Olimpico de Montjuic came just before the hour mark.

Segunda Liga outfit Malaga dispatched top-flight Real Sociedad.

Sociedad claimed a 2-1 victory on Wednesday evening with Inigo De Cerio (7 & 74) claiming two, but Richard Morales (77) goal sealed Malaga's passage as they went through 5-3 on aggregate.

Another La Liga side bowed out at the Nou Estadi as Real Valladolid won 3-1 to secure a 4-1 aggregate win over Gimnastic de Tarragona.

Javier Portillo had put Gimnastic ahead on 18 minutes, but a tremendous second half showing from Valladolid secured the win with goals from Oscar Sanchez (59), Alvaro (60) and Mario Suarez (75).

La Liga champions Barcelona eased through to the next round, easing past Badalona 4-0 at Camp Nou, giving them a 6-1 success overall.

Gio van Bronckhorst (23), Santiago Ezquerro (39) and Javier Saviola (78 & 82) bagged the goals for Frank Rijkaard's men.

Valencia were also comfortable winners as they went through 4-1 on aggregate against Portuense after a 2-0 win at La Mestalla. David Silva (7) and Hugo Viana (45) scored for Los Che. 

Villarreal eased into the next round with a 2-0 win over local rivals Castellon - giving them a 4-0 overall success. Turkish star Nihat grabbed both goals (12 & 66) for the Yellow Submarines.

Getafe booked their place in the last 16 with a 3-2 aggregate win over Xerez.

Getafe took a 2-0 lead into the game but they were soon pegged back as Xerez levelled through Yordi (1 pen) and Sergio Castano (35).

However, the home side secured victory thanks to Alexis' goal on 69 minutes.

Osasuna eased past lower league Pena Sport thanks to a 4-0 victory in Pamplona.

Minnows Pena had claimed a 0-0 draw first time out, but they could not cope with the La Liga side as Pierre Webo (16), Bernado Romeo (54), Roberto Soldado (74) and Josetxo (85) all fired home.

Sevilla moved into the next round with a 3-0 win over G.Segoviana, giving them a 4-0 aggregate victory.

Enzo Maresca (26 pen), Aitor Ocio (45) and Duda (65) all scored for the Uefa Cup holders.

Real Zaragoza overcame Hercules 3-1 on aggregate after a 2-0 victory on Wednesday, thanks to second half strikes from South American duo Andres D'Alessandro (56) and Ewerthon (66).

Deportivo La Coruna progressed on penalties after losing 1-0 at Racing Santander.

Depor won the first leg 1-0, but Cristian Alvarez's goal on 39 minutes levelled the tie up. After extra time gave no further score, Depor emerged victorious with Albert Lopo dispatching the winning spot kick.

Victor spared Real Mallorca from a penalty shoot-out with an extra-time winner in their tie with fellow La Liga outfit Athletic Bilbao.

His strike in the 102nd minute was enough to put the hosts through 3-2 on aggregate after Bosko Jankovic's early strike was cancelled out by Francisco Javier Yeste's penalty for Bilbao.

Real Betis put their miserable league form behind them for one night after grabbing a 2-0 win over Recreativo de Huelva. That gave them 2-0 aggregate win with Fernando (41 pen) and Rafael Sobis (59) scoring.
