MADRID, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Athletic Bilbao and Betis reached the Copa del Rey last 16 on Thursday night after tough away tests, while Getafe became the latest top-flight casualty in a round of shocks.
Getafe began well at Burgos, taking the lead in the 32nd minute when Alex Sancris powered in after a corner. Burgos hit back in first-half stoppage time as David Gonzalez equalized from the penalty spot.
Inigo Cordoba then struck twice after the break, finding space behind the Getafe back line to put Burgos 3-1 ahead. Getafe had a late chance to revive the tie, but Borja Mayoral missed a penalty.
Athletic needed extra time to see off third-tier Ourense, with Mikel Jauregizar deciding the contest with a precise volley in the 107th minute. Ourense, which had already knocked out Oviedo and Girona, again proved awkward opposition on a pitch badly affected by torrential rain.
Betis also had to work hard away to third-tier Real Murcia before winning 2-0 through Cucho Hernandez's penalty and an 85th-minute own goal by Murcia's Diego Pineiro.
FC Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have also progressed to the last 16, but top-flight sides Celta Vigo, Mallorca, Levante, Villarreal and Sevilla have all been eliminated in this round.
Rayo Vallecano will play its tie at Granada on Jan. 6 after Thursday's 3-0 Conference League win over Drita Gjilan. ■
