RC Celta said goodbye to the Copa del Rey in the round of sixteen. Coudet’s team was surprised by a good Atlético Baleares who knew how to deactivate the Vigo team and took the lead in the first quarter of an hour of play. The locals resisted until after the break, when RC Celta’s coach brought on substitutes that seemed to give another air to the sky-blue team.
In the 66th minute, Brais Méndez equalized after a pass from Santi Mina, a goal that seemed to push the Celta team to achieve the comeback. It was not to be. Just ten minutes later, Atlético Baleares regained its advantage on the scoreboard, again through the attacker Manel, and put the final 2-1 on the scoreboard.
