On a late Thursday evening in Spain, the last four King's Cup sixteenth-final matches were played.
Madrid's "Atletico" players unexpectedly played a draw in front of their own fans against the "L'Hospitalet" team. Diego Simeone's players advanced to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 5-2.
In the 19th minute, Mario Mandzukic scored in favor of "Rojiblancos", but in the 68th minute, the opponents equalized the score. Just a few minutes later, the same M. Mandzukic re-established the lead. However, in the 84th minute, Alcarazas leveled the score.
It is already clear that a Madrid derby awaits in the quarterfinals. "Real" will face "Atletico" and they will clarify their relationship on the field.
Also advancing to the next stage are the "Elche", Bilbao "Athletic", and "Malaga" players.
