MADRID, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- The four La Liga teams in action in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday all booked their places in the next round with relatively comfortable wins.
Striker Anastasios Douvikas scored two second-half goals as Celta Vigo enjoyed a 5-1 win away to San Pedro de Alcantara, who play five divisions below them.
Girona also made their class count with a 4-0 victory away to Extremadura, with Bryan Gil putting them ahead in the first half, before Bojan Miovski added two goals in the second half and Arnau Martinez added the fourth.
The bad news for Girona was the loss of winger Arnaut Danjuma with a hamstring injury to add to their long injury list.
Sevilla won 3-0 away to Las Rozas with an own goal and two efforts from Kelechi Iheanacho seeing them through against a side that plays five categories below them.
Leganes are also through, but had to work a lot harder against Ciudad de Lucena, who play in the fifth tier.
Leganes had already missed a penalty when Munir El Haddadi put them ahead with a tap-in after he saw his initial spot-kick saved by impressive Lucena goalkeeper Ivan Morales.
David Agudo netted an impressive equalizer on the stroke of halftime, but Juan Cruz netted what proved to be the decisive goal seven minutes into the second half.
The match between Escuela Parla and Valencia was postponed due to the floods which have so far claimed almost 100 lives in southeast Spain, while the match between Chiclana and Osasuna was called off shortly before kickoff when a downpour flooded the pitch and stands.
Thursday's games between Jove Espanol and Real Sociedad, and Manises and Getafe have also been postponed due to the flooding. Enditem
