He Alavés ha removed this Wednesday at Terrassa in the second round of the Copa del Rey of the 2023-24 season, by winning at the Estadi Olímpic in the Catalan town by 0-1and, in this way, has qualified for the round of 32 of this competition. Xeber Alkain, in the 21st minute of play, was the scorer of Alavés’ goal; Luis García Plaza’s team has been, as a whole, superior his rival, who competes in the 2nd RFEF, and, especially in the second half, he created opportunities to extend the score, which was, however, short, which has maintained the excitement until the end.

In this context, Alavés has not struggled to keep its rival away from Owono’s goal in the first half, and, furthermore, with Alkain’s goal, they went to the locker room with an advantage. The match started evenly. Luis García Plaza’s men have adapted well to the artificial grass of the Terrassa field, and have tried to take the initiative from the beginning; There were hardly any scoring plays until the 21st minute, when Alkain, in an intelligent action by the Hondarribiarra, put the Vitorian team ahead. In a cross-shot, Terrassa sent the ball to the crossbar, in the 29th minute, and Unai Ropero, with his left foot, from inside the area, was on the verge of making it 0-2, five minutes before the break, which has been reached with Alavés winning.

In the second part, the superiority of Alavés has become more evident, and the babazorro team has arrived dangerously in the local area in more plays. Tenaglia and Karrikaburu, the latter on two occasions, were on the verge of scoring the second goal for Luis García Plaza’s team, although they were unable to achieve it. Terrassa, who played a good game and pressed with strength and intensity, increased their offensive in the final minutes, to try to force extra time; Jesús Owono, very confident all afternoon, has had to respond in two attempts by the Catalan squad, who have not given up and have sought until the last minute to improve their chances of continuing in the Cup.

It has been Alavés who has achieved the objective of classification, and, as things are, the ball of the Gasteiztarra club will not be missing in the draw for the round of 32, which will be played between January 6 and 7. The good line that the Alava team maintains in LaLiga EA Sports is confirmed, for the moment, in the Cup, where it can continue aspiring to everything.
