Espanyol did not leave room for surprise and went to work on its second visit to the island of La Palma, which was as sweet as a cake. The white-and-blues go matar CD Mensajero (0-2), bottom of their group in the Second Federation, in a game in which they had enough with the first half. Two goals in two minutes by Salvi Sánchez put Luis García’s men on track to reach the last 32 of the Copa del Rey, rewarding the insistence of a team that did not suffer and that knew how to control its rival.

Despite the experimental line-up proposed by Luis García, the bottom of the wardrobe and young players took a step forward and showed that they can be counted on. Keita Balde vindicated himself by constantly overflowing his side and offering dangerous crosses that did not find a finisher in the area. He sniffed the goal in three very clear actions: first he hit the crossbar, then he sinned generously and, finally, he was thwarted by an intervention from the rival goalkeeper in a hand to hand. The arbucienc didn’t find the goal, but he found himself with good feelings that can bring him closer to having more prominence in the League. The one who found the right goal was Salvi, who opened the scoring by finishing Ramon’s cross which was deflected by a defender. Immediately after, he hunted down a horrible rebound from the home goalkeeper to make it 0-2.

Marc Jurado and Omar Sadik also showed good minutes, two of the several debutants in the squad who contributed interesting details in attack. Espanyol, which turned the second half into a mere formality, was superior at all times, which allowed Joan Garcia to have a rather peaceful night. The goalkeeper of the plant showed solvency in an appointment marked by the search for his gloves. The white-and-blue club left the bag they were carrying at El Prat airport. An anecdotal incident that did not go further: Espanyol received the lost bag in time, but just in case he had bought new gloves in a shop in La Palma and received another shipment from Tenerife.
