Secondarios Gijon and Girona remove Villarreal and Osasuna from the Copa del Rey

Villarreal even took the lead, through Raul Albiol, in the 48th minute, but Gijon turned the score around in the 67th and 88th, with goals from Montenegrin forward Urros Djurdjevic and from the Ukrainian right-back Bogdan Milanovic.
Girona got ahead very early on the scoreboard, after six minutes, by the left-back David Junca, and remained until the end with this advantage, in a match in which the balance of values between the sixth ranked of the II League and the 14th of the I League was clearly evident.
The batch of 16 teams qualified for the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey 2021/22: they are Atlético Madrid, Espanyol, Mallorca, Real Sociedad, Valencia, Barcelona, Atlético Baleares, Real Betis, Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid, Girona, Cádiz, Sporting Gijón, Sevilla, Athletic and Elche.
