Toni Martínez and Carlos Vicente have scored the Alavés in the quarterfinals in a closed match against Rayo (2-0)
The two teams have finished the first balanced part tied to zero, but after the break the Alavés has found the goal prize in the first few minutes, and then the Vitorians have softened the slope further as the referee has expelled Isi Palazón.

The Alavés has entered the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey after winning 2-0 to the Rayo Vallecano in a closed match in Mendizorroza. Toni Martínez has put the Alavés team ahead at the beginning of the second half and Carlos Vicente has marked the second in the final minutes when the Madrid team was already playing with one less player.
In the first half, with little to emphasize, lack of rhythm and a pretty tight game, Calebe has fallen into the Lightning area, but the referee has considered that there was no penalty and he has also pulled a yellow card for pretending to be a babazorro player.
In the 13th minute, a Caleb center didn't find a shooter inside the Lightning area. Soon after, Rebbach fired from outside the area, but Cárdenas stopped the ball without any trouble. Similarly, in the 26th minute, a distant shot from Yusi at the exit of a corner stopped the Lightning goalkeeper.
A shot from Gumbau in the 30th minute did not find the goal of Raúl Fernández, then Iñigo Pérez had to replace Camello for injury, but he took advantage of the window of changes to remove Balliu, who asked his coach for explanations.
Before the break, in the 43rd minute, the Lightning had its best opportunity in the first half. Raúl Fernández had to make a big stop to send Fran Pérez's score to corner.
After the break, the Alavés has won the prize in one of the first plays of the first half. Toni Martinez has put the Vitorian team ahead. In the 68 minute, the match and the playoff have been better placed for the Alavés team, as Isi Palazón has seen the red card when he was almost on the field.
In the 88 minute, with the Madrid team in attack, Carlos Vicente took advantage of one of the Alavés's options to sentence the meeting and the dispossession. The Galician made the second to close the meeting. Shortly before, Guridi and Blanco had two opportunities to score the second goal, but they were not right.
