2nd round of Copa is going on this week.

First big surprise yesterday as Espanyol lost against Segunda RFEF (4th division) team Barbastro.

Valladolid needed ET to beat Real Avila (also Segunda RFEF) that eliminated Real Oviedo (Segunda) in previous round.

And CE Europa (4th tier team from Barcelona) played well but eventually lost 1-2 against Las Palmas after they've caused upset in 1st round eliminating Albacete (Segunda). Several other Segunda teams like Malaga, Levante, Cordoba, Eibar and Mirandes were also eliminated in 1st round.

We've also seen first clash between two Segunda teams when Granada beat Zaragoza away after penalties. And we have another pretty interesting one scheduled for today between Racing Santander and Sporting Gijon.

Most La Liga teams will also play today and tomorrow. Ofc except Supercopa participants (Barca, Madrid, Bilbao and Mallorca) who will join Copa in 3rd round in January.

Girona lost against Logrones (Segunda RFEF) after penalties despite the home side playing with a field player - LB Pol Arnau (son of a former Barca GK Francesc Arnau) in goal in ET and shootouts after their GK got injured and they didn't have subs anymore. Arnau saved Abel Ruiz's pen and then Stuani hit the post.

And Pontevedra (also Segunda RFEF) eliminated Villarreal.

Elche smashing Las Palmas and Ourense close to KOing Valladolid.

Alot of surprises against the mid/low level LaLiga sides. No money, more problems.

A good example that some teams are only good as minimalists, to press and counter attack, but fail miserably when they have to build the game themselves.
