Anastasuna defeated Tedion 5:0 in the 1/128-finals of the Copa del Rey on 26 September 2026. The match finished at 16:00 local time, and the scoreline told its own story without needing elaboration. Cup football has its own rules, and on this occasion the hierarchy was clear.
Five goals without reply is the kind of result that settles questions before they are asked. By then the visitors had no reason to believe they could overturn the deficit. The margin speaks for itself — no drama, no comebacks, simply a team that found its rhythm and kept knocking on the door until the net rippled five times.
Hosts Anastasuna arrived with mixed recent form. They lost 1:2 to Getafe on 17 December 2020 and bounced back with a 2:0 victory over Real Titánico on 11 November that same year. This cup performance suggests they have rediscovered something in the meantime. The captain dragged them through it in those earlier fixtures; today he did not need to.
What matters here is not the spectacle but the progression. A 5:0 win in the earliest round of the cup puts them one step further from elimination with minimal fuss. Tedion will need to regroup and reassess before their next assignment. The history between them adds an edge, but this result resets the conversation.
The score itself is the headline. No need to dress it up or analyse moments that did not happen. Anastasuna put the game to bed early and maintained control throughout. The cup remains open, but for one afternoon the hierarchy was unambiguous.
