Atletico Madrid scraped a 1-1 draw at home to second division Celta Vigo in their King’s Cup quarter-final first leg on Thursday.
Earlier, Walter Pandiani’s late strike gave Osasuna a valuable away goal as they lost 2-1 at Racing Santander.
In the other two ties, Sevilla won 3-0 at Deportivo on Wednesday while Getafe won 2-1 at Real Mallorca.
Celta, who knocked out Villarreal in the last round, were the better side at a packed Calderon, and took a third-minute lead after slicing open the home defence for Roberto Trashorras to score.
Atletico’s new signing Tiago nodded in from a corner to level in the 11th, but it was a rare sight of goal for them.
Celta controlled possession and forced the hosts into mistakes throughout the game, with only the interventions of Atletico goalkeeper David de Gea denying the visitors a second goal.
At the Sardinero, Uruguayan Pandiani grabbed a lifeline for Osasuna on the counter-attack in the 89th minute after his goalkeeper Roberto had been left rooted to the spot by two stunning strikes from Racing.
Gonzalo Colsa scored with a powerful shot from outside the area in the 63rd and Senegalese midfielder Papakouli Diop caught Roberto off his line with a curler from distance in the 84th.
The early chances favored the hosts as Sergio Canales tight-angled shot flew into the side netting in the sixth minute.
Osasuna had fewer chances in the first half but better ones with strikers Jorge Galan and Dady both unable to convert from inside the area.
Pedro Munitis and Francisco Jimenez both came close before Colsa opened the scoring.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
Rafael Nadal on Wednesday said the upcoming French Open would be the moment to “give everything and die” on the court after his comeback from injury in Barcelona was curtailed by Alex de Minaur. The 22-time Grand Slam title winner, back playing this week after three months on the sidelines, battled well, but eventually crumbled 7-5, 6-1 against the world No. 11 from Australia in the second round. Nadal, 37, who missed virtually all of last season, is hoping to compete at the French Open next month where he is the record 14-time champion. The Spaniard said the clash with De Minaur was
