A new format in the King's Cup of Spain brought not only intrigue, but also stirred up sensations. Madrid's "Atletico" team's journey in the tournament ended already in the first stage. Diego Simeone's disciples were defeated in the round of sixteen by the team "Cultural Leonesa" competing in the third country league. Angel Correa brought the guests ahead in the 62nd minute, but "Leonesa" showed character and equalized the score in the 83rd minute. Without a change in the result, the teams had to play an extra half an hour. In it, a real sensation was presented - in the 108th minute, the hosts scored a winning goal with Sergio Benito. "After" Atletico "could not recover from this blow and quite shamefully withdrew from the tournament. D. Simeone in this match had players like Joao Felix, Saul Niguez, and Vitolo. We remind you that earlier in the King's Cup, clubs played a series of two matches, but now until the semifinals, teams play only one match against each other, and teams from a lower division have the advantage of home ground. Also, three "La Liga" clubs - "Real Betis", "Eibar", and Vigo "Celta" - ended their journey already in the round of sixteen. "Cultural Leonesa" 2 - 1 "Atletico" 62' [0 - 1] A. Correa 83' [1 - 1] J. Castañeda 108' [2 - 1] S. Benito Other results: "Rayo Vallecano" 2 - 2 "Real Betis" (penalty shootout: 4-2) "Badajoz" 3 - 1 "Eibar" "Mirandes" 2 - 1 "Celta" "Ebro" 0 - 1 "Leganes"
