Second divisionist Mirandés eliminates a club from the Primera Division for the third time with Villarreal and surprisingly qualifies for the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Mirandés – Villarreal 4-2
Mirandés’ cup fairy tale goes on and on. After Celta de Vigo and Villarreal, the Spanish second divisionist also beats Villarreal, placing the number eleven of the second Spanish League in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey. Villarreal came back twice from behind (due to goals from Javier Ontiveros and Santi Cazorla), but goals in the second half from Odei Onaindia and Antonio Sanchez were too powerful for ‘El Submarino Amarillo’.
Lazio – Verona 0-0
The Italian Serie A could have had a new number two after Wednesday night, but Lazio left the chance to pass Internazionale. The Romans should then have defeated Verona, but at home, Lazio did not get further than a bloodless 0-0. As a result, the gap with Inter remains one point and the leader Juventus is four points ahead of the blues from Rome.
