The Alavés have won the pass to the King's Cup Final Sixteen by winning 0-3 to Portugalete in the La Florida stadium. The Portugalete team, with the push of local fans who have filled the stands, has given the Vitorians jobs, but it has not been enough to beat the team led by Eduardo Coudet.
The Alavés began the match with a great performance, since in the second minute, the Galician Carlos Vicente controlled a long pass within the area of Portugalete with an extraordinary shot to mark 0-1.
However, with the passing of the minutes, the Babazorro team has relaxed a little and the Portugalete has had some chance to draw. The Vitorians have had a clear opportunity to score 0-2, but the Portugalete goalkeeper, Ibon González, has cleared the shot of Toni Martínez with his foot, so the marker has not moved any further before the break.
In the second half, the Babazorro striker had another opportunity to score in the presence of Ibon Gonzalez, but the Portuguese doorman again pulled his shot with his foot.
After a controversial move within the Alavés area, the second goal of the Vitorian team has arrived. Toni Martínez has stolen a ball and his center has been nailed to his own goal by a Portugalete defense. In the previous move, the referee has expelled a local player for allegedly throwing himself inside the area, but there could have been contact and pointed out penalty.
In the nearly 90 minute, Toni Martinez made good the expression 'yes in the third', as he scored on his third chance, making the third goal of the Alaveses and closing the match.
