Unionistas eliminated Villarreal

La Liga-ranked Villarreal exited the Copa del Rey early after being knocked out by third-tier Unionistas.

The game was scheduled for Sunday but was postponed to today due to electrical problems.

Ahomach opened the scoring in the 82nd minute for Villarreal, but the hosts restored parity 5 minutes later thanks to Planas, who converted a shot from 11 yards.

In the 120th minute, it came to a penalty shootout, and Alberto Moreno and Kiko did not miss for the “yellow submarine”. Adrian Gomez scored the decisive blow.
