Valencia has put an end to the adventure of the ‘matagigantes’ of the current edition of the Copa del Rey, Atlético Baleares (0-1), and has confirmed its pass to the quarterfinals of the tournament after asserting a goal from Marcos André in the first minute of the match.

Musah, with a backheel before the first quarter of an hour, and José Luis Gayà, with a shot that forced Ginard to stretch, were able to increase the income of the ‘che’ team before the break, which lowered the revolutions after the break and was sleeping the game
Vinícius Tanque, in the absence of a quarter of an hour, had the best of the Majorcans, the only representative of the First RFEF in the round of 16 and who had left Getafe and Celta on the way, in an action in which he did not finish off with fortune.
