Athletic Club 2-3 Osasuna

It was a spectacular match at San Mames, where holders Athletic Club were dumped out of the competition by Osasuna.

However, Budimir struck again in the second half to secure a fantastic victory for Los Rojillos.

Real Sociedad 3-1 Rayo Vallecano

Real Sociedad are in the hat for the quarter-final draw after a sold victory over Rayo Vallecano at the Reale Arena. The hosts went 2-0 up after strikes from Mikel Oyarzabal and Jon Olasagasti, and although Oscar Trejo pulled a goal back for Rayo from the penalty spot, the result was sealed by substitute Sergio Gomez in the second period.
