By IANS News January 14, 2026 • 09:32 AM View: 174

Deportivo La Coruna: Athletic Club qualified for the quarterfinal of Spain's Copa del Rey, but not before suffering for 120 minutes away to second division Cultural Leonesa.

Athletic played for an hour with 10 men against a side that pushed the 2024 Cup winner to the limit, before finally succumbing to an Unai Gomez penalty in extra time.

The home side started brighter of the two and was rewarded when Ivan Calero opened the scoring with a smart finish to finish off a counter-attack, reports.
