Four matches just finished! Sporting 1 - Osasuna 0 (winners v Valencia?); Ponfe 0 - Getafe 4 (winners v Atlético?).

Córdoba 2 - Real Sociedad 0 (Rennella penalty, min 75). Another good cup run for Córdoba? They knocked out Betis last year, remember?

Valladolid 1 - Betis 0 (Bueno 39'). Narrow win for locals, even though Sereno sent off with 30 minutes to go...

Cup match between neighbours Eibar & Athletic already under way on All Saints Day, a public holiday in Spain. Llorente & Toquero up front...

Real Jaén 0 - Atlético 3. Raúl García scored third in injury time to make return leg a mere formality.

Cacereño 3 - Málaga 4. Final whistle - Esteve heads one back for locals near end, but Málaga must still be favourites after away win.

Alcoyano v Real Madrid kicking off soon. Mourinho has included B team brothers Nacho & Alex Fernández in line up, as well as Adán, Morata...

Almería 2 - Celta 0 (Molinero 87'). 2nd division side looking good! Celta had Vila sent off on hour mark.

Zaragoza 1 - Granada 0 (Aranda 79'). Romaric sets up Aranda for first goal!

Cacereño 2 - Málaga 4 (Santa Cruz 73'). City man gets his second of the night from Seba cross. That's about it...

Almería 1 - Celta 0 (Jonathan 59'). 2nd division side ahead! Winners of this one to play Real Madrid, Alcoyano permitting!

Diego Costa penalty gives Atlético Madrid 0-1 lead at Jaén at break. No goals yet in Zaragoza v Granada, nor in Almería v Celta.

Cacereño 2 - Málaga 2 (half time). Oneywu headed in Duda free kick & Santa Cruz added 2nd, but Jaraiz & Jurado level it for 2B side!

Headbutty! Ref's report describes the 'missile' that hit FCB keeper Pinto in last night's game was actually a sandwich.

Look out for Diego Forlán's 'double' in the cup tie between Jaen & Atlético Madrid tonight. Jaen's 'Nando' looks just like him!


Tuesday 30th October:

Final score: Alavés 0 - Barça 3. Fàbregas heads in Dani Alves cross to wrap things up. More games over next 2 days.

Match carrying on after announcement for crowd to behave. Alexis turned in Villa cross but ruled offside. Wrong it seems!

Alavés 0 - Barça 2 (Iniesta 51'). Great goal by Iniesta, but game now stopped as Pinto hit by an object thrown from crowd. Idiots!

Alavés 0 - Barça 1 (half time). Alavés put up good fight, but Iniesta put David Villa through to open scoring shortly before interval!

Barça up next at Alavés, ex UEFA Cup finalists, now in division 2B. Tito taking it seriously, Iniesta, Villa, Cesc, Alexis, Busquets...

Spanish cup 4th round starts tonight, with 1st division sides entering. First match: Llagostera 0 - Valencia 2, goals from Jonas & Valdez!
