Cup giant-killers Alcorcón were up against it after losing by the odd goal in the first leg against Racing, but they could have been on the away to another epic upset if González Vázquez had not incorrectly ruled out an early goal by Cascón in the Sardinero stadium. Clos Gómez let Barcelona off the hook after disallowing a Negredo goal for what he considered to be a foul on Pinto after the keeper went walk-about outside of the area, although it didn't matter in the end as Sevilla went through anyway. And Fernández Borbolán upset the Villarreal players when he awarded a hotly disputed last minute penalty to their opponents Celta which enabled the second division club to qualify for the quarter finals. Fernández had previously turned down another penalty appeal by the visitors which seemed much clearer than the one he did give, but it all works out in the wash! Not much to comment on at the weekend, although Turienzo Alvarez set a new high for the season with thirteen yellow cards and a red as Málaga and Getafe battled for the third time in ten days.
